Bridges for End-of-Life

Description

Because Bridges recognizes that the end-of-life is a part of life itself and that grief may last forever, we are committed to the beliefs that:

1. All persons have a right to dignified, quality end-of-life care.
2. Community resources should be centered on the capacity to ensure access for everyone to end-of-life care and information about grief.
3. Community collaboration is key to ensuring access to end-of-life care and grief support for everyone.
4. Education is an essential vehicle to inform those involved with end-of-life issues or after a loss.
5. A strong outreach program will assist patients, families, friends, and health care providers in making informed choices about end-of-life care.
6. A strong outreach program will assist children and their families through the grieving process.
7. All information and resources will be provided in an impartial and unbiased manner.
8. Volunteers play a vital and integral role in support of Bridges’ outreach programs.
9. Our Board of Directors provides operational transparency, staff accountability, and sound, ethical stewardship of financial resources.
