The San Francisco Bay Area Network for End-of-Life Care is a diverse group of professionals and volunteers working in and committed to the improvement of end-of-life care in the Bay Area. The membership of the SFEOL Network includes individuals representing local hospices, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, long-term care facilities, as well as a variety of non-profit organizations that serve the many end-of-life needs in the region.
We meet monthly at Senior Vintage Living to discuss current developments, share information and work toward common goals embodied in our mission statement.
We provide speakers or panels of experts for organizations or community groups for discussion and exploration of difficult end-of-life issues. For many, simply opening up a conversation about end-of-life issues is the hardest step. We facilitate interactive discussion groups to break the ice and help people become more comfortable with these often sensitive issues. Our members have expertise in all areas of end-of-life care, and are available for speaking engagements. We can also work with you to design a program tailored to your specific needs.
Our mission is to offer support and build community among all those involved in end-of-life care in the Bay Area; to work toward improvement of end-of-life care by increasing public awareness through education, by identifying and filling end-of-life needs in diverse communities, and by strengthening local resources in all areas of end-of-life care.
Our logo design is taken from the Celtic burial mound at New Grange in County Meath, Ireland. It is one of the oldest Celtic symbols, pre-dating the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. It has been described as representing the three stages of human existence: Birth, Death, and Eternity
