Description
Summary:A focus group discussion among 7 health care executives addresses issues such as how the for-profit health care industry affects trustees and their attitudes toward their roles and communities, and what do CEOs want and need most from their boards of directors. William A. Himmelsbach Jr. commented that it is not the tax structure or size of a community-based health-care environment that is important, it is the mission and culture of an organization.
