Elizabeth Uslander is empowering the dying every day to create a better ending.  As co-founder and CEO of Empowered Endings, Elizabeth is passionate about helping people with serious illness to find the death that aligns with their values and wishes.  Her social worker background equips her with problem solving skills she can use to be an advocate for patients and their caregivers.  Elizabeth’s theological training lets her support the religious, faith, and spiritual beliefs of her patients.  

Elizabeth is not only an advocate for people who are at the end of life; she’s also a proponent of the interdisciplinary team.  She thrives in the collaborative environment that’s the best structure for caring for the complex needs of serious illness. Elizabeth is a passionate change agent committed to humanity, dignity, and choice throughout life, and especially in its final chapters.
