Program
Do your donors look like your patients?
Just as your patient base reflects your community population, so should your staff and donor base – and not just because if feels like the right thing to do. The patient experience is affected by many factors beyond the quality of medical care. And every patient is a potential donor.
Are your board members as well as your leadership and development staff ready to make changes to familiar, comfortable and traditional ways of doing business? How can we consciously overcome our biases and perceptions to engage and expand our base of support? The sustainability of your health institution requires a new attitude plus a solid action plan. Let’s get started.
