Amherst NSCC project

The land and the design are in place, now all that is needed is 4.2 million dollars in private funding to build a new hospice.

Students at the Amherst NSCC are helping the Cumberland County Hospice/Palliative Care Society towards that goal.

Second-year Business Administration students drew up a strategic plan at the hospice societies annual general meeting.
