Prioritizing mental health in hospice care

Prioritizing mental health support alongside physical comfort, Pathways hospice care aims to enhance the quality of life for patients and their families during one of life's most challenging transitions.

This week’s notable rounds:

Clovis Oncology Inc. (Nasdaq: CLVS) offered $250 million in new stock and debt offerings in a shelf offering Monday, which allows the Boulder company to sell those securities at any point in the next three years. The company previously raised more than $225 million in August in a move thought to ward away potential takeover offers from larger pharmaceutical companies.

ArcherDX Inc., a Boulder company that makes genomic testing systems for cancers and inherited diseases, raised $55 million in its Series C round Tuesday. It previously raised $60 million in May.

Westminster’s Health Scholars Inc. opened a $17.3 million fundraiser, with $7.63 million already sold among 13 investors. The virtual-reality company makes training simulations for doctors and nurses to practice stabilizing a patient having a heart attack and putting out surgical fires.

Longmont’s Cansource Holdings LLC, which designs shrink-wrap artwork for craft-beer cans, closed a $5.5 million round from 24 investors Tuesday.

The week’s other filings (source: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission):

Dec. 17: RePlant Capital PBLLC, Boulder, $839,516 raised out of $3.8 million round
