A Warm Welcome: Embracing Life’s Final Chapter
I’m Dr. Bullock, and I’m honored to step into the role of Hospice of the Valley’s Medical Director this year. Born and raised under the wide Texas skies, I found my heart—and my partner—in Colorado during residency. A quick detour to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for fellowship only deepened our longing to return home. Now, with my family by my side, I’m exactly where I belong: serving this vibrant community with compassionate end-of-life care.

Sean and Lesa Are Back!
Sean and Lesa, dedicated to end-of-life care since 2002, joined the Hospice of the Valley Board of Directors in April. Starting at Roaring Fork Hospice, they became the first chaplain and nurse for Hospice of the Valley. They founded the No One Dies Alone program and worked with Pathfinders. Lesa, now a grief coach, leads support groups and Bedside Voices of the Valley. Sean, recently retired, hosts the podcast Where the Veil Grows Thin. They’re excited to support the area’s only locally-run nonprofit hospice.
