Dedicated Team: New Century Hospice – Denver currently operates at a 12 patients for each nurse ratio. The dedicated professionals pictured are ready to answer any questions

New Century Hospice – Denver opened last March and has made an immediate impact. “We run our branches like a small community branch,” said Tracey Cannon, Director of Operations for New Century Hospice – Denver. “We’re neighborhood oriented.”

Beyond having a neighborhood feel, they also have one of the lowest patient to nurse ratios. Currently, they are operating at a 12 patients for each nurse ratio and most hospices are 20 patients to each nurse. “We have a lot more time with our patients and we have a lot more time with the family,” said Cannon.

“One of the frustrations with Hospice is that people wait so long and there is only so much we can do,” said Cannon. “It’s always sad for us when we get involved with a patient so late in the game. People think hospice means that I’m dying right now and it doesn’t.”

New Century Hospice – Denver covers most of Denver, Lakewood, and Aurora. But it is the Chronicle that awakened Cannon to join the Glendale Chamber in November 2018. “I received the newspaper in the mail and didn’t know that Glendale had a chamber,” said Cannon. “I have already met some connections. The Chamber gives me the chance to make connections with people that can help our patients.”
