The Empowered Endings Foundation Education
Learning, sharing, growing
Our educational programs and collaborative community help those aging and facing complex and terminal illnesses, their loved ones, and their providers have the support, knowledge, and tools needed to create an Empowered End of Life Experience™ with the dignity and agency we all deserve.
We are reframing the narrative of end of life throughout society—from healthcare systems to politics to personal beliefs. We’re providing a platform to experts to raise their voices and share resources to help healthcare professionals, end of life practitioners, and individuals learn more about the realities and possibilities of end of life care.
We know that together, we can work to ensure everyone has access to the information, support, and community needed to raise the bar in Aging Well, Dementia Care, Palliative and End of Life Care, Grief and Bereavement, Family Support, and more.
The Empowered Endings Institute hosts the online community and online education for the Foundation. All education is provided at no cost. As we work to fulfill our mission, donations are always welcome.

Change Social Paradigms in Palliative and End of Life Care
The Empowered Endings Foundation was established to optimize Palliative and End of Life Care by filling gaps in the healthcare system and ensuring that financial burden is never an obstacle to people receiving the resources, education, and support they need and deserve.
Our Institute was created to amplify the voices of Palliative and End of Life Care experts while connecting like-minded professionals and interested community members with each other and the resources they need.

Bob and Elizabeth are just very gentle souls. There was no pressure and shared with my wife Rachel and I the many options you have to consider. It felt just like someone putting their arms around you.
For us as a family, Bob and Elizabeth gave us the tranquility and support that we needed at that moment. It made a total difference in the way my Dad passed away. It allowed me to be the daughter and not a nurse.
