In Grand Junction, you might be invited to brunch … at hospice. Spoons, a bistro and bakery, "allows people to get comfortable with us before they need us,” says Debbie Horwitz of HopeWest Hospice. Host Ryan Warner has a conversation about death and dying over oatmeal. Hospice nurse-turned-CEO Cassie Mitchell is also at the table.
