Links We Like

A little housekeeping. Entries for both Canadian community-based organizations and health care providers link to one of two places: our own CPOP Who's Who in Psychosocial Oncology on this site, or the specific organization's site.
Now about the content. If you would like to contribute links you like -- especially collections! -- or if you're looking but not finding, get in touch (jan@cpoponline.ca).
