  • Death Doula Kacie Brings a New Perspective to Death Conversations
    Dec 27 2024

    As a nurse and End of Life Doula, Kacie Gikonyo cares for the dying while working to make a lasting impact on end-of-life support. Kacie realized during the pandemic that she was called to work with the dying. She trained with INELDA (the International End of Life Doula Association) to become an End of Life Doula. Her special area of doula practice is with younger persons with a terminal illness, focusing on end of life conversations and legacy projects.


    Kacie believes in fostering collaboration over competition, nurturing a community-driven model through the Death Doula Collective. The Collective is a community of Death Doulas from across the country who want to support, empower and guide each other. Kacie is also the founder of the Death Doula School, whose mission is to cultivate successful Death Doulas who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those they serve.

  • Making End of Life Care Better With Dr. Ira Byock - Encore Episode
    Dec 20 2024
    Dr. Ira Byock believes hospice can heal its own dysfunction by holding providers and clinicians responsible for the care we provide and how we provide it. Physician Dr. Ira Byock is a voice for change in the hospice industry, and an advocate for quality end of life care. His many years of experience in hospice medicine, coupled with the compassion he has for people dealing with serious illness, have made him an industry leader in the U.S. According to his website (irabyock.org), he is “Founder of the Institute for Human Caring at Providence St. Joseph Health. Dr. Byock is Active Professor Emeritus of Medicine and Community & Family Medicine at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. He served as Director of Palliative Medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire from 2003 through July 2013. Dr. Byock has been involved in hospice and palliative care since 1978. His research has contributed to conceptual frameworks for the lived experience of illness that encompasses a continuum from suffering to wellbeing; related measures for subjective quality of life during illness; and effective life-completion counseling methods. From 1996 to 2006 he directed Promoting Excellence in End-of-Life Care, a national Robert Wood Johnson Foundation program that developed prototypes for concurrent palliative care of people with life-threatening conditions. He is a past president of the Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine.” What Dr. Byock’s bio doesn’t describe is his caring heart. It drives his dedication to identifying the issues we face in the hospice industry and offering evidence-based, practical solutions. He wants the hospice silo of healthcare to correct its own path. Dr. Byock believes hospice can heal its own dysfunction by holding providers and clinicians responsible for the care we provide and how we provide it. His articles in STAT magazine and the Journal of Palliative Medicine describe actionable, practical solutions. Hospice practitioners of every discipline can learn from Dr. Byock.
