EMMAUS CATHOLIC HOSPICE (Dominican Home Health)

A nonprofit organization

Looking into the eyes of someone you cherish and acknowledging their life is ending, is an overwhelming moment. Yet, the beauty of hospice and the care of those involved, can significantly determine the journey, bringing reconciliation and a deepening of faith in a way unimagined.

Emmaus Catholic Hospice serves the Denver community through sincere devotion, entrenched in our faith and values. Through this care and with your generosity, we are able to provide services for all who seek a dignified end of life. We pursue care for the whole individual; physically, through easing suffering, spiritually, through pastoral care and sacramental offerings, and emotionally, by listening and engaging fully to the needs of the patients and their families. 

With a legacy of over 100 years in home health care, our ministry established by the Dominican Sisters of the Sick Poor, is grounded in the belief our patients are seen, heard and loved. 

Your role can not be understated. There is a direct correlation between your generosity of giving and Emmaus Catholic Hospice’s success. With a devoted and dedicated team, our doctors, registered nurses, social workers, chaplains, certified nursing assistants and volunteers work closely together, ensuring the very best of care attending to those at this most holy moment.

May this holiday season surround you with love of family and friends, kindness to all and a heart of gratitude seeking grace.

We are grateful for your generous support.


Thank you for honoring our beloved Mother & Grandma. We appreciate all you have done for her. Allison and the Emmaus team, you were a light in all of our lives, and we will miss you very much. We are so thankful to have had you in our lives.

 — Staci M, granddaughter of patient


"I give my full support and blessing for Emmaus Catholic Hospice to serve in the Archdioceses of Denver.

Mission

Our mission is to provide Catholic home hospice care, support, and education that honors the dignity of each person we serve.

Background Statement

Dominican Home Health Agency was founded in 1923, when four Dominican Sisters, all nurses, arrived in Denver to dedicate their lives to caring for the city’s sick and poor residents.

The Sisters, affectionately known as the Sidewalk Samaritans, served the city’s sick poor from birth to death. From day one, they provided end-of-life care that honored the physical and spiritual needs of their neighbors.

With a legacy of over 100 years in home health care, our Catholic home hospice ministry is grounded in the belief our patients are seen, heard and loved.
