For two decades, Lanise Shortell, RN, CHPPN, CPLC, has compassionately served in pediatric hospice and palliative care. A personal experience with bereavement in early childhood laid the groundwork for Lanise’s calling to provide grief management expertise to domestic and international MD Residency and Fellowship programs.  

Lanise serves on the faculty of the Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Foundation, and in this role, she travels around the world, and works with different cultures on ways to infuse ancient wisdom into modern training programs.  

A board member of Life House Atlanta since 2020, Lanise is a strong advocate for Georgia’s children facing life-limiting illness and their families.  She is poised to meet the urgent need for grief support during pediatric hospice and afterwards, and is dedicated to creating connections between  families experiencing community isolation due to round-the-clock caregiving for children with complex medical conditions.  

Quote Lanise, “Life House Atlanta is an answered prayer of many, and will have generational impact on our community.”
