A Study to Determine the Most Effective Volunteer Service Program for Lutheran General Hospital, San Antonio, Texas.
Abstract
Hospital volunteer service is traditionally recognized for its contribution to patient care, and it is gaining recognition for strengthening the hospital as a community enterprise. Volunteer workers, the uniformed inservice corps, are an integral part of the total manpower in any hospital, regardless of its size or whether it is a government or voluntary enterprise. For these reasons, volunteer service is an accepted part of management responsibility. This service in the contemporary hospital needs the continuing direct concern of hospital administration, a qualified salaried director, and the sustained interest of a progressive auxiliary. This is particularly true in urban communities in which hospitals are increasingly complex in function, patterns of service, and organization.
