Nonprofit hospitals exist to serve their communities by offering fair, high-quality care. Because they are nonprofit, they receive benefits like tax exemptions, and in return, the public expects them to use funds to help patients, rather than to enrich individuals. At the heart of these hospitals are their boards of directors (or trustees), which oversee resources and ensure their decisions focus on patient needs. When a board member uses this position for personal gain, the hospital’s purpose is lost, and those who rely on its care suffer.
I have worked in health care for over 25 years, including as CEO of several hospitals. I have seen how important it is for hospital boards and executives to stay focused on patients. Good boards ensure money is spent wisely, patients are treated fairly, and the hospital is transparent about finances and decisions. However, when personal or political gain drives decision-making, resources are not spent where they’re needed most — on patient care. The result is a loss of trust, as patients feel they are not the priority.
