Up close and personal. Taking a community plunge puts you in touch with real people, real needs.
Taking a "plunge" into the community puts trustees in touch with the real people affected by decisions made in the boardroom. It's an education that goes beyond facts, figures, and policies. Trustees and execs at Memorial Health System in South Bend, Ind., have used this method for several years to put a face on social issues that influence their community's health.
