Review for International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care Inc, Houston, TX, USA
International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care is a gift to the global healthcare community. They are extremely effective at connecting those in need of resources with those that have resources. As an organization they are aware of each countries public policy on death and dying, and pull together resources to advocate for change when needed. They maintain a well informed website that is continuously updated with worldwide provider lists, directories, resources, and educational materials. When funding is available, IAHPC will provide traveling scholarships for those healthcare professionals wanting to expand there education through conferences and educational materials that might not otherwise be able to afford it. They have earned and deserve support from those that can.
