Honoring Dr. David and Paulette Greenberg
Each year, Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care recognizes a member of the community who makes a positive impact on the lives of residents of our region with our Quality of Life Award, presented at our signature event, Illuminations.
Recipients of this award embody positivity by passion for life and their joy of serving others. This year we are thrilled to announce that the Quality of Life Award will be presented to Dr. David and Paulette Greenberg, recognizing a lifetime of service through both professional and volunteer roles. The Greenbergs have been active members of the community for five decades, including founding the Greenberg Center for Learning & Tolerance in 2003. Paulette has served on over two dozen nonprofit boards, including two terms on the Pikes Peak Hospice Foundation board. David has had an illustrious career as a cardiologist, serving as the head of cardiology at Memorial Hospital, (UC Health). Both David and Paulette are longtime champions of heart health, education, community service, and inclusion and dignity for all.

Inpatient Care Center First Look
With the population in our region continuing to expand, the need for hospice services and specifically for inpatient hospice care continues to increase. To better meet the needs of patients and their families, Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care has constructed a state-of-the-art hospice Inpatient Care Center (ICC), expanding our patient rooms from 8 to 12. The ICC is a beautiful, home-like environment nestled in a quiet location, and will provide our community amenities that bring increased comfort and dignity at end-of-life. Take a sneak peek at this gorgeous facility and learn more about why it is so important to our community in this video.
