[Viva] Working in healthcare...

[Penny Bradford]

There is a Canadian AIDS Legal Network that perhaps has some better info
for you. I think this is the one that Peggy referred to. Try this link:


https://www.google.ca/search?q=canadian+aids+legal+network&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&gws_rd=cr&ei=_zRBUtRvzpqMAtG6gaAK

If this doesn't work try looking up The Canadian AIDS Legal Network.

Best wishes,
Penny
