Everyone deserves to die well. By reimagining End of Life Care and helping to plan in advance, Empowered Endings™ enables everyone to do so.
This is what Dr. Bob Uslander and Late Night Health’s Mark Alyn discuss on this episode of the show. This unique, San Diego-headquartered company evolved based on Bob’s 30 years of experience as a physician in emergency medicine, palliative care and hospice and Elizabeth’s expertise in spiritual counseling and medical social work in end of life and grief care.
Dr. Bob and Elizabeth’s combined passion for assisting families at this stage of life has evolved into the Empowered Endings Collective, currently serving all of Southern California. With four entities under its umbrella, Empowered Endings has all End of Life needs well covered.
It addresses life-affirming care, essentially aging care, as an important part of the process,helping people plan during the last 10-20 years of their lives as well as assisting with options, resources, and supporting as things change.
