    Janice Lombardo Bio, My Angel Janice CEOLD (Certified End-of-Life-Doula)

    The mantra’s I live by are, “See a Need, Fill a Need” and “See Something, Say Something”. Caring about and for family and friends, Janice Lombardo has over 20 years’ experience as a medical advocate, caregiver and cancer survivor. In October 2007, she was recommended for and recruited to be a volunteer on the Patient and Family Partnership Council, Acute Care, Cleveland Medical Center, University Hospitals, Cleveland, Ohio. Since 2007, she has continued to provide both patient and caregiver perspectives to help improve hospital systems directives and protocols for relationship-based and patient-centered care.
    In October 2008, she completed online coursework through the University of Tasmania, Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre, earning Dementia certification credits. This certification provided a better understanding of what the brain and body experience during all stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s decline.
    Taking advantage of being at home during Covid, Janice became a certified End-of-Life Doula (CEOLD) through online coursework at the International Association of Professions Career College (IAP Career College) in April 2020.
    Janice is enthusiastic about helping others discuss and prepare for not only their own end of life wishes, but those of their loved one’s as well. We plan for birth and we need to plan for death too. As a passionate diversity and inclusion advocate, in May 2021, she completed her SAGECare (Senior Action in a Gay Environment) Platinum Level LGBT Cultural Competency Training to better serve those LGBT Seniors and their caregivers and provide support in other underserved communities. Also in May 2021, she became a published author with 10 other End-of-Life Doula’s. “Bold Spirit Caring for the Dying” is a global collaborative project, sharing stories of why these End-of-Life Doula’s are drawn to this important work.
    A teacher at heart, Janice became a certified WillowEOL Educator in December 2021. She has multiple resources available to present in-person along with virtual presentations to those taking charge of creating their final wishes. She has and continues to lovingly provide physical, psychological and psychosocial holistic support to those in transition helping to ease the burden on themselves and their loved ones.
    In February 2022, Janice became a member of The Association of Specialists in Aging (ASANEO.ORG). This local organization exists to create a network of successful professional relationships that facilitates change for the improvement of life and promote the well-being of older adults through education, support and service.

    In March 2022, Janice was featured in Mimi Magazine for her work as an End-of-Life Doula. This article gives more information and insight into what this important work entails and how Janice is working to help support, guide and educate people in the community to proactively have the difficult but loving conversations about Directive Plans and Final Wishes. Visit Janice’s website: www.myangeljaniceceold.com or Mimi Magazine’s website: www.mimivanderhaven.com to see the article in the March issue on page 26 or under health and wellness.

    In June 2022, Janice attended PASS, another organization focused on working to support seniors at any stage of life and partner with other businesses who provide these services to improve their quality of life.
