Access to compassionate end-of-life support should not depend on what a family can afford.
Advocating for Greater Access to End-of-Life Support
I believe compassionate end-of-life support should be accessible to more families, not limited by income, insurance, or circumstance.
Through Mourning Drums, my advocacy includes working toward greater recognition of end-of-life doulas and pathways that could make this support more accessible to the communities who need it.
Working Toward More Equitable Access
One part of my advocacy is working toward pathways for end-of-life doula services to be reimbursed through Medicaid.
Greater reimbursement and recognition could help make nonmedical end-of-life support available to families who may otherwise be unable to access it.
What Sets Us Apart
Greater Recognition
Increasing understanding of the role end-of-life doulas can play alongside families, hospice teams, and other care professionals.
Greater Access
Helping create pathways that make compassionate, nonmedical end-of-life support accessible to more individuals and families.
Community Partnership
Building relationships with healthcare professionals, organizations, advocates, and community leaders who share this vision.
Let’s Continue the Conversation
If you’re working in healthcare, policy, community advocacy, education, or an organization interested in expanding access to end-of-life support, I welcome the opportunity to connect.
