Rekindling the Flame:
Achieving Success Through Community Leadership
You face many
challenges as a healthcare leader. Among the most important are
using your limited resources wisely and building the trust of the
communities you serve. Why are community relationships so important?
The American College of Healthcare Executives and the American Hospital
Association recently collaborated on a project that demonstrates
how hospitals can further their goals by developing close relationships
with community partners. Benefits derived from these relationships
include obtaining excellent market research information, reducing
costs through more appropriate utilization, and increasing staff
loyalty.
To help you
achieve these goals, the following resources have been developed:
