Our History

Embracing the Hospice Philosophy

Designed for Specialized End-of-Life Care and Meeting the Unique Needs of Individuals

In the late 1970s, community volunteers Flo Carris and Susan Langstaff saw an opportunity to meet a profound need in the Colorado Springs community. Joined by many volunteers and financial supporters, Carris and Langstaff established hospice care in El Paso County, Colorado. Through this commitment, terminally ill individuals and their loved ones were ensured a compassionate, comfortable, and dignified life closure. This vision became Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care.

Our Growth Since Inception in 1980

This growth would not have been possible without the generous support of our entire community and the commitment of staff and volunteers providing the extraordinary hospice care which meets a clear need in our community.
