The Daily Sentinel, Grand Junction, CO; by Jace Dicola; 12/19/24 
HopeWest, one of western Colorado’s largest hospice and palliative care providers, has selected a new Chief Executive Officer: Deneen Silva. Silva will replace current HopeWest CEO Cassie Mitchell, who announced her “bittersweet” departure for a job closer to family in mid-October. According to a HopeWest press release, Silva will begin the new position in February 2025. Mitchell will continue as CEO until then and remain with the organization through the end of March to ensure a smooth transition. ... HopeWest is not new territory for Silva, who has served as the organization’s Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) Executive Director since September of this year. ... Previously, Silva served as a hospice executive director in Oregon and was a primary player in establishing southern Oregon’s first PACE program.
