Dedicated to Compassionate Care: Supporting Life’s Final Journey with Love and Dignity
Carmelle Content’s life has been dedicated to supporting others through some of life’s most challenging moments. Her career began in 1985 as a Nursing Technician at St. Mary Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. In 1996, she advanced her skills by becoming a NYS Critical Care Paramedic, graduating from St. Anthony School for Health Professionals. Her commitment to patient care expanded in 2015 when she became a Certified Patient Advocate through Patient Best Advocate Training, providing a voice and support system for individuals navigating the healthcare system
In 2020, Carmelle felt called to another profound role—Death Doula work. After years of service, she was certified in 2023 by IAP College as a Death Doula and became an End of Life Doula Care Specialist in 2024, certified by the Doulagiver Institute. Through these roles, Carmelle offers compassionate, holistic care to those at the end of life and their families, ensuring that no one journeys alone.
