This applies to non-profits, of course, but I am curious how many docs contribute money to their hospitals. (Maybe WCI could do a poll on this, if he thinks it is worthwhile.)
For the last ten years or so, I have been a donor to our hospital, probably giving upwards of $30k over the years, for various annual funds and campaigns. Additionally, I have also served as a board member (and officer) of the charitable foundation of our hospital and was the most active physician in this role, in terms of recruiting physician participation in hospital philanthropy and engaging with the community volunteers on this board.
I have changed my tune a bit in the last 12-18 months, but I am curious to see where other forum members are on the issue of donating money to their hospitals.
