Winnipeg held a palliative care conference last week and several Portage la Prairie volunteers were there. Sunset Palliative Care Volunteer Coordinator Aldene Moroz was one of them.

"What it basically focused on this year was the Hidden Faces in Rural Palliative Care, and the volunteers who do all the palliative care programming, as well as the volunteers involved in palliative care who are visiting families, community and people in the hospitals," says Moroz.

She says 15 attended from Portage, and took in four seminars each day that related to their service the most. Moroz adds they took home many ideas with which they can enhance the service here in our city.
