Bristol Bay: Helping Hands Program Volunteer Guide
Definition:
This loose-leaf notebook provides information to community volunteers on how
to care for a patient nearing the end of life. While it contains much of
the same information that mainstream guides include, traditional knowledge
and wisdom sections are also included as well as practical information that
addresses caring for patients in a remote setting.
