Border Mountain
The most sensitive and effective support for those coping with hospice needs, grief, and personal loss, comes from professionals that have experienced those same circumstances. At Border Mountain, JoAnne Chitwood has created intuitive, loving programs that speak to the hearts of anyone dealing with loss. A respected author, film producer, counselor, seminar leader, and Registered Nurse, JoAnne has practiced in the Hospice field for over 20 years.

Border Mountain is a non-profit organization based in Oregon with a healing retreat (Camp David) being developed on the island of St. Croix in the USVI. Our sister website www.bordermountain.com presents training programs, manuals, and books developed by Border Mountain and sold through Promise Publications, which is a for profit business. Our Catalog page has links to our sister website for information on specific products offered through Promise Publications. Some proceeds from Promise Publications are used to promote Camp David and other Border Mountain projects described on this website.

Completely refilmed and revised, The original My Gift: Myself training has been expanded to present Excellence in End Of Life Care to a much broader range of volunteers and professionals. With interviews and high definition footage shot in hospice settings around the world, the revised training meets US Medicare and all state requirements for training volunteers and other healthcare staff. Visit our sister website to view the features and order materials from this thorough and professional program. Discover why over a thousand hospice programs trust the My Gift: Myself training.

Bipolar Awareness Bike Trek Planned
Border Mountain is organizing a cross country bicycle ride from Anacortes, Washington to Washington, D.C. in memory of David Chitwood and all who have died from the effects of Bipolar illness. Our purpose is to raise awareness of the importance of early detection and treatment of bipolar disorder, and to support families who have been torn by this potentially heartbreaking disease. To learn more or help support this endeavor, please see our new page on Bipolar Awareness.
