She went on to complete her emergency medicine residency at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, one of the toughest inner-city programs in the country. With two decades of ER medicine under her belt, she is passionate about wellness- in life and death. She is convinced addressing our mortality in addition to nutrition, physical, mental, and spiritual poise are the keys to thriving in our challenging society. She helped found the North Hawaii-based nonprofit organization, Life & Death Wellness and works as an emergency physician at Kohala Hospital and Kona Community Hospital on the Big Island of Hawaii. She also helps patients across the island and state on all end-of-life options and palliative support through her private practice in North Hawaii and telemedicine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd28f814a438b748569251b/1615270640968-2KKMA0DUE47HFJ53FI1U/bobbi.PNG Mission - Vice President - Bobbi Bryant Volunteering for hospice in three states and working for two hospice organizations allowed Bobbi an intimate view of death and dying. She witnessed the difficulties dying people and their caregivers experience and how hospice provides one of the best models of care for people at the end of life. To further support the dying, Bobbi created the first end-of-life doula training program for a hospice in Hawaii. In May of 2017, Bobbi founded Inspired Endings and facilitates end-of-life doula training programs for our community in Hawaii and worldwide. One of the most important lessons she has taken to heart is not so much about what to do, but more importantly about how to “be” with the dying. Bobbi has been living and loving on the Big Island since 2012, where you will find her walking amidst the raw beauty of Hawaii, swimming in the ocean blue and riding her motorcycle Kali around the glorious island she is grateful to call home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd28f814a438b748569251b/1615269464224-3YUAK0YCCIB3F3GAZUFS/Eddy.PNG Mission - Secretary/Treasurer - Eddy Cash-Dudley E.
