A nonprofit 501(c) (3) agency founded in 1980, Mount Evans provides compassionate and experienced care to individuals and families, including home health, palliative care, and hospice. In addition to medical services, Mount Evans offers grief support, caregiver support, community health services and education.

A new leader recently assumed the helm at Mount Evans Home Health & Hospice. She’s a mountain resident of Idaho Springs, a nurse, and an incredibly competent health care administrator with a wealth of experience. Her name is Keri Jaeger. Although her name may be new to the broader mountain community, she’s not new to Mount Evans. She’s spent the last three years nurturing a team of more than 60 clinicians as the Senior Director of Clinical Services. Jaeger is credited with gently guiding the organization to a sustainable future that allows our care teams to provide more and better care to the mountain community’s rapidly growing number of patients. While doing so, she earned the genuine love and respect of her team.
