Dignity Hospice of Colorado has been offering end-of-life care to patients and their families since 2010. In March 2017, it was acquired by the current owners, Jenna and Roy Girton. Jenna, a devoted wife and mother of two, has a natural inclination towards serving others. Before joining Dignity in 2013, she honed her customer service skills in the hospitality and financial sectors. Roy shares Jenna's passion for assisting people. As a former US Marine and a firefighter for the past two decades, he has dedicated himself to public service. Presently, Roy serves as a Lieutenant in a local Denver fire department, where he finds fulfillment in aiding individuals during their most critical moments.

Jenna and Roy are committed to upholding Dignity Hospice's inspiring vision: to cultivate an atmosphere where the team's appreciation and respect translate into compassionate care for patients and their families. Their primary goal is to make a positive difference in people's lives. Ensuring that patients receive exceptional care, reflective of what they would want for their loved ones, is the cornerstone of Jenna and Roy's dedication. This commitment propels them to strive towards becoming Colorado's premier hospice provider.
