About Us
Our Story
In the early 2000s, John Freeman, Dr. Tom Lally, and Jeanine Lally began their journey in healthcare, focusing on end-of-life and palliative care in Colorado. Their collective experience and compassionate approach laid the foundation for what would become Bloom Hospice.
Our story isn’t just about healthcare expertise; it’s about a heartfelt commitment to making the end-of-life journey as peaceful and meaningful as possible. We understand that this is a time of emotional complexity for both patients and their families. That’s why we extend our care beyond the physical, offering emotional and spiritual support tailored to each individual’s needs and wishes.
At Bloom Hospice, we’re not just healthcare providers; we’re a support system, a listening ear, and a comforting presence when you need it most. Our philosophy is simple: to treat each person with the dignity, compassion, and respect they deserve, at every stage of their journey.

We’re not just aware, but intimately understand the challenges, fears, and the profound sense of vulnerability patients and their families endure during their final journey together. That’s why we go to extraordinary lengths to bring comfort, support, and understanding, standing by them throughout their entire hospice journey. We strive to infuse each day with dignity, peace, and a sense of togetherness, fostering an atmosphere of warmth and compassion that transcends the boundaries of hospice care. We at Bloom Hospice don’t just provide care – we become a part of your extended family, there for you in your time of need.
