title: The Sister trustee.
abstract: As the number of religious sisters decreases and as hospitals are increasingly managed and staffed by laity, there is a national trend toward religious sisters who do not work in the hospital serving on its board of trustees. These sisters are fully responsible board members lending their considerable life experience and their sense of mission to dedicated service and Catholic witness on hospital boards.
