From Morgan Leigh Ryan

I had the privilege of working alongside Leslie Bryan on Mount Sinai’s Palliative Care Unit in NYC for several years. As a death doula, her gentle, sincere and compassionate way of supporting people at the end of life was absolutely awe-inspiring to me. Some individuals truly have a gift for being a comforting presence for those who are dying, and Leslie is one of those people.
