Red Willow Hospice would like to take time to introduce you to the faces of our hospice team! Meet the folks that make our organization special ❤️

I’m Lisa, the Director of Spiritual Care and Bereavement at Red Willow Hospice, where I support patients, families, and caregivers through serious illness, dying, and loss. My path into spiritual care grew out of years in healthcare and a deep commitment to whole-person care. Over time, it was the depth of human connection in my work that drew me toward hospice and the opportunity to accompany people more fully through life’s most significant transitions.

I am a generational daughter of Northern New Mexico with roots throughout the region, and I hold a deep love for this community. I live in Taos with my husband, son, and furry friends. Outside of work, you’ll find me cooking, studying everything, and exploring the landscapes that make this place home. ❤️

What an inspiring day at the New Mexico State Capitol!

Our Red Willow Hospice team had a wonderful time representing our community at Senior & African American Day. They connected with so many passionate leaders and advocates, including the FDA King and Queen and NM Deputy Secretary of Aging & Long-Term Services, Dr. Angelina Flores.

Our team was honored to hear remarks from Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and to witness the powerful African American Day presentation in the House of Representatives Chambers.

Thank you to our staff for showing up with heart, professionalism, and pride, and to everyone who made the day so meaningful.

We’re honored to be featured in Hospice News for the launch of our Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT) program, made possible through our partnership with .

We’ve begun our training with Dr. Lida Fatemi at in Medical Psilocybin Facilitator Training, followed by Ketamine-Assisted Therapy training with Elemental Psychedelics.

As we move forward, we are thoughtfully integrating psychedelic medicines into clinical care, recognizing their potential to ease end-of-life existential distress, lessen anxiety and depression, and support pain and emotional suffering when used responsibly and within a therapeutic framework. Our goal is to help patients find greater calm, clarity, and meaning during a deeply vulnerable time.

We’re excited to be leading this emerging work in hospice care while staying grounded in our commitment to equitable, culturally rooted, and community-centered care for everyone we serve.

Modern hospice care began with a simple but powerful idea: that caring for people at the end of life should center dignity, comfort, and the whole person, not just the illness.

In the 1960s, Cicely Saunders helped reshape end-of-life care by challenging the belief that nothing more could be done once curative treatment stopped. She recognized that suffering could be physical, emotional, social, and spiritual, and that all of it deserved care.

What began as a quiet shift in thinking grew into modern hospice care: a model rooted in presence, listening, and respect for both patients and their families.

Hospice care began as an act of service.
And at its heart, it still is.

Being a lamp can mean listening without interruption.
Being a lifeboat can mean staying close when things feel overwhelming.
Being a ladder can mean offering gentle support at the right place.

None of use are meant to do this alone.

We’re honored to announce the seven grantees of Walking Each Other Home — Healing Hearts, Changing Minds’ $566,260 funding initiative advancing compassionate, ethical psychedelic-assisted end-of-life care.

Following an extensive listening tour and a highly competitive review process, these projects were selected for their commitment to dignity, integrity, and community-centered care at life’s end. Together, they reflect the growing depth, rigor, and humanity of this field.

From clinical research and hospice-based care to rural access, workforce training, and legacy-centered healing, these grantees represent what’s possible when compassion leads.

Spiritual care in hospice is about being deeply present with someone, listening without judgment, and honoring their journey.

It’s a space for everyone, regardless of beliefs, to find companionship and reflection.
