Trustee Education
Serving as a hospital trustee requires significant volunteer commitment. Trustees must function in a complex healthcare environment, one that is constantly changing and that demands extensive knowledge of hospitals and healthcare.
QHR understands the complexity of the healthcare industry and believes that hospital trustees, as non-healthcare professionals, benefit from continuing education to help them understand the issues hospitals face, fulfill their governance responsibilities, and enhance their leadership skills. We provide a variety of resources to support community hospital board members.
