What Users Are Saying
“I have found the [CTB] articles and how-to guides wonderful in my attempt to pull a community coalition together. I am a nurse, I have never done such work, but this website makes it possible for me to feel like it is possible to surmount the difficulties of placing three hospitals, two hospices, two family health centers and representatives from several other agencies at the same table, rise above territorial and political issues and find a common path to our shared goal of improving the care we give to the dying. I thank you for all your efforts.” |
