Website Of The Month
Hospice Foundation of America

Each month we publish one website that highlights how individuals, organizations, or countries attempt to get their message out about what it is we do in hospice/palliative care.

This month we present "Hospice Foundation of America

Hospice Foundation of America meets its mission by conducting programs of professional development, public education and information, research, publications and health policy issues. Our programs for health care professionals assist those who cope either personally or professionally with terminal illness, death, and the process of grief, and are offered on a national or regional basis. Our programs for the public assist individual consumers of health care who are coping with issues of caregiving, terminal illness, and grief.

Free PDF software faster and smaller than Adobe PDF

The full massive version of Adobe Reader is so slow along with all the unnecessary plugins and it eats system memory big time. Here are a few free pdf alternatives you can try.

PrimoPDF
Create PDF files faster with the only free PDF creator to support one-click, drag-and-drop PDF creation. Convert to PDF from any file you can print, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint formats.

Foxit Reader
Foxit Reader is small in size but features almost everything Adobe Acrobat Reader has. This FREE PDF viewer allows users to view and print out their PDF documents. PDF documents can be opened at lightning speed and users can convert PDF document to its original document.

Sumatra PDF
Sumatra has a minimalistic design. It is small and launches itself very fast. It is great for portable use because it is just a one file with no external dependencies. It is small enough you should include this in your USB pen drive.
