End of Life Doulas: A bridge to peace

End of Life Doulas (EOLDs) work in the space between medical support and family caregiving. Their important work complements the work of the clinical hospice team and helps the dying person and their loved ones by providing comfort, companionship, and presence at the end of life.

I have had the honor of collaborating with and learning from several EOLDs in my career including those featured here, and I believe collaboration between the medical and EOLD communities can bring about a re-imagining of End of Life Care.
