THANK YOU C-TAC
The Center to Transform Advanced Care, or C-TAC, recently featured INELDA in its newsletter. In response to addressing the needs of end-of-life care for people experiencing homelessness, INELDA and the McElhattan Foundation partnered to educate and offer support for care providers and other stakeholders addressing the needs of people experiencing homelessness. With the support of the foundation, INELDA next partnered with Bridge to the Mountains, a local Pittsburgh nonprofit serving people experiencing homelessness through street outreach, resource coordination, harm reduction, and connection to care. Our partnership engages those directly impacted with lived experience to inform best-practice approaches to end-of-life care.

VISITING WITH PITTSBURGH DOULAS
The best part of INELDA’s grant in Pittsburgh is connecting with people offline! It was great to connect with the Pittsburgh Community Deathcare Collective during our latest visit and hear about the roots participants have in the city. The group formed in 2017 and includes death doulas, holistic health care practitioners, educators, social workers, funeral directors, celebrants, and grief counselors.
