title: What road will you take? Charting an organizational course for community accountability.
abstract: Across the country, numerous perception studies have been conducted to gauge the public's opinion of America's health care system and the role local providers play in serving community health needs. The results consistently show that, in general, people are unaware of the myriad of benefits above and beyond the provision of general acute care services provided by not-for-profit community health care organizations.
