More hospitals say 'yes' to physicians on boards.
Physician membership on hospital boards of trustees is a growing practice.

Data from three surveys conducted by the American Hospital Association on physician trustees in nongovernmental not-for-profit hospitals are compared to illustrate this diversity.
