The case for health care philanthropy.

Abstract

Health care organization trustees and CEOs are in a unique position to know and affect the delivery of health care services to their communities. They are the natural developers and guardians of a community's health care resources. This role can be strengthened through education, and a broader understanding among trustees and CEOs about their critical influence on philanthropy for hospitals, medical centers, hospices, long-term care institutions, and all health-related organizations.
