Mission Statement
End Well is a nonprofit dedicated to the belief that all people should experience the end of life in a way that matches their values and goals. When faced with issues of mortality, we often suffer needlessly for a variety of reasons, from cultural and clinical to matters of access. We bring together a community that unites design, technology, health, policy, and activist initiatives to transform how the world thinks about caregiving, grief, illness and the end of life experience with the ultimate goal of creating a future where ending well becomes a measure of living well.
Description
We were founded in 2017 by Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider based on her conviction that dying isn’t a medical issue, it’s a human issue. Since then, End Well has become the most widely known and respected organization at the intersection of popular culture and healthcare with a focus on end of life, grief, loss, caregiving, and associated health and welfare challenges.
Our fresh perspective and commitment to infusing wonder, joy and hope into these conversations while also tackling the tough stuff has garnered over 30 million impressions on social media and our free virtual events reach hundreds of thousands. We post all talks and resources for free and have created a global community in the digital and IRL spaces.
