They’re going to get older, they’re going to struggle with geriatric conditions, and they’re going to need palliative services and eventually end-of-life care. It was built in 1955, so it wasn’t designed for a geriatric population. Michele: So that number’s really growing.

What’s the difference between end-of-life doula and a hospice volunteer? Beth: It depends on the volunteer. Hospice volunteers do lots of things. That’s getting a little off-topic because that’s after death, but I think with what doulas do is reprocessing and helping with some grief we can.

Joe O’Donnell, MD, Senior Advising Dean at Dartmouth, encouraged me to enroll in training as a hospice volunteer when I was a second-year medical student, an invaluable experience at a formative moment. This honor also recognizes the shared vision and values of Hospice and Palliative Medicine and Geriatrics.
