Health-related nonprofit organizations reflect a unique and enduring aspect of the American character, rooted in the concepts of charity and fraternity. The organizations are urn by dedicated, creative, and hardworking leaders, managers, and volunteers striving to improve the human condition.
The Healthcare Nonprofit: Keys to Effective Management assists leaders and managers as they uphold the nonprofit tradition across a challenging and ever-evolving healthcare and public health landscape. Special attention is given to the following:
• The importance of the mission
• Programs and services that make a difference
• Staff and volunteer management
• Effective board governance
• Fundraising and donor stewardship
• Marketing, public relations, and advocacy
• Legal, regulatory, and ethical issues
• Leadership and crisis management
Much has changed in the nonprofit sector since the days of Benjamin Franklin and the founding of the Pennsylvania Hospital, but nothing has replaced the dedication, creativity, and hard work of leaders, managers, and volunteers striving to improve the human condition.
