Community Engagement [ back to top ]
Our model is to build excellent end-of-life care into the fabric of community life. Locally Life's End Institute has undertaken a number of successful focused initiatives such as integrating end-of-life programming into local schools, using the arts to engage community members in exploring end-of-life issues, and working with local media, organizations, and venues to create a successful “focus” week on a particular end-of-life subject. Life's End Institute can guide your organization on beginning a similarly focused program in your community. Our particular community engagement consulting work includes:
