Our Story

Shift the Paradigm

Dr. Bob Uslander has a vision to transform Palliative, End of Life, and Grief Care for all. Empowered Endings brings Dr. Bob’s experience and vision together with like-minded professionals and community members. He believes that, together, we can transform the way our society approaches the final stages of life.

Dr. Bob Uslander, MD, has practiced medicine for over 35 years. As an Emergency Physician for more than 20 years, Bob witnessed the gaps in our healthcare system firsthand. Over the years, his growing concern about patients’ quality of life and ability to influence their own treatment drove him to transition to Palliative and Hospice Care. Since then, his practice of Palliative and End of Life Care has focused not just on the physical needs of his patients, but also on their emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual needs. He is passionate about eliminating the fear that keeps people from experiencing peace and joy at any stage of life.

After partnering to support hundreds of patients and families in his holistic medical practice, and providing education throughout Southern California on their proven model of care, he launched Empowered Palliative Care and The Clarity Path. His mission is to fill the gaps in the traditional healthcare system and facilitate a social paradigm shift in Palliative, End of Life and Grief Care so a “soft landing” is the rule rather than the exception.
