Nina Impala, founder and host of The Inspiring End of Life Conversations, created the podcast to openly explore conversations about death and dying. Her guests offer a broad spectrum of experiences and identities, including cancer survivors, family members caring for aging parents, survivors of child loss, suicide, and accidental death, as well as pet psychics who share with us messages from our furry friends.

In our podcast with Nina, Dr. Bob and I had the opportunity to talk about our incredible model of Empowered End of Life Care, which integrates the physical, spiritual, mental, emotional and social aspects of our patients’ and their families’ grief and end of life journeys. You can listen to our conversation here, which is summarized per Nina’s website below:

“Integrated MD Care is a Geriatric, Palliative, and End of Life Care practice in San Diego, CA, providing concierge medical and psychospiritual services to patients and families in the final stages of their journey. Led by Bob Uslander, MD, and Rev. Elizabeth Uslander, MSW, MTS, the team integrates all aspects of a person’s care — physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual —so they can live a rich and fulfilling a life as possible.
