Resources
As much as we wanted to give you a one person contact, we realized that the care of an end of life patient requires more than one person.
We have listed some resources that we turn to for volunteer training and information.
Akasu Palliative Care Society is made up of volunteers from various walks of life and are not able to provide medical information.
