AnCan’s paramount stated purpose is to smooth the road for those coming along behind; and the quintessential shared experience must be entering hospice. It is rare a person at this stage of treatment is both alert and motivated to share the experience with others. Yet it is hardly surprising that a man dedicated to lifelong learning, research and educating others has committed to disseminate yet more knowledge in the hope it will make theirs and their loved ones’ lives easier.
There is good reason why Professor Bill Burhans has served on our Board and Advisory Board ….. because he is committed to helping and teaching for as long as he can. Please take this rare opportunity to listen to Prof Bill sharing his hospice experience. And Bill ….. may your journey always be easy and tranquil – we love you!!
