SOS - Nonprofit Health Care

The nonprofit hospital industry is in trouble. According to a report from onPhilanthropy, various pressures, including an increasing rise in uninsured patients and an aging population are putting a strain on the system. The rise in philanthropic contributions has not kept up with the needs of the nonprofit healthcare system. Can philanthropists meet these challenges as the cost of technology and caring for the uninsured rises? Time will tell, but one thing is sure: the answer will shape the raging healthcare insurance debate in Washington in the next couple of years.
