Our other affiliate brothers and sisters are doing some tremendous work around the country and we anxiously await as new affiliates develop. Father Mike, as he is affectionately referred to, is using various art forms, including poetry and theater, to create dialogue on death and dying issues. The group's expansion will provide increased visibility and the opportunity to provide more public education and serve a greater population. Groups in Alaska and Southern California are hard at work and hope to be serving clients in their own communities by the end of the year. East Coast - Groups in New York and Connecticut have formed.
Affiliates are in their developmental stages but are growing rapidly.

Teresa came highly recommended to us by our co-Medical Director, Dr. Peter Goodwin, with whom she served on an ethics committee. Teresa is one of those special people who never says no when asked to help those in need.
