Bills would address palliative care shortage
{mosads}The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) welcomed the new measures, saying they would improve patients’ quality of life.

“That’s why palliative care is one the fastest growing trends in health care, and why we need more trained professionals in the field.”
