The Empowered Endings Institute

Education, Resources, and Community: Transforming Palliative, End of Life, and Grief Care for all.

Changing the Paradigm of End of Life Care

Building Community with Resources and Education

We’ve gathered and created these resources and programming to help healthcare professionals, End of Life practitioners, and community members learn more about the realities and possibilities of End of Life Care.

Created and led by educator and advocate Elizabeth Uslander, and physician and end of life expert, Dr. Bob Uslander.

Together we can work to ensure everyone has access to the dignity and agency they deserve throughout their final chapter.

Why The Empowered Endings Institute?

The Empowered Endings Institute’s educational programs are built on the foundation of the Empowered Endings Model of Care. This model of care, now proven after seven (7) years of success supporting hundreds of patients and families throughout Southern California and beyond, ensures that patients facing complex and terminal illnesses, their loved ones, and their collaborating providers have the support, knowledge, and tools needed to create an Empowered End of Life Experience with the dignity and agency they deserve throughout their final chapter.

Through education, community, and shared resources we are working to transform the way the world thinks about and deals with End of Life Care.
