Trustees expand their focus.
Paoli Memorial Hospital, a 180-bed community hospital in Philadelphia's western suburbs, has become increasingly involved in community health over the past several years. What spearheaded this involvement was the creation of a foundation and committee on community health whose mission is to: assess the needs of the community, provide financial ability to address those needs, and actively pursue the means to solve the problems identified. The work of the hospital foundation has received a strong, positive response from the hospital board, auxiliary and the community at large.
