The American Pain Foundation (APF) and divisions of
the American Alliance of Cancer Pain Initiatives (AACPI), with the support
of the American Cancer Society and the American Society of Pain Management
Nursing (ASPMN), have joined together to implement a grassroots effort
called the Power Over Pain Campaign.

priority at the state and local levels

about pain and its management
