Akasu Palliative Care Society Donates to Vegreville Care Centre Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent Akasu Palliative Care Society in Vegreville saves the donations they collect from people in Vegreville and surrounding area. The organization then distributes the funds they collect to other Palliative Care Units. So, it was Terry Kubin’s pleasure to present a $4,000 cheque to the Vegreville Care Centre (VCC) Palliative Care Unit on Oct. 9. Vilma Musama, Vegreville Care Centre Care
Manager, said she felt it was very nice for Akasu to provide $4,000 to VCC Palliative Care Unit. “It is my passion to provide quality palliative care because I want to ensure our passing residents receive the best care ever. Our goal is for our residents to have no pain at the end of their lives.” Terry Kubin said she hopes the funds they collected for VCC Palliative Care Unit will provide air mattresses and gel sheets, which will prevent bed sores as well as sheepskin booties for the residents’ comfort.
