Role: Director of Community Care and Outreach Audience: Internal, hospital leadership team(s) Topic: Financing Charity Care Scenario: Part One: You have worked for ABC Hospital for several years. Recently, you were promoted to be the Director of Community Care and Outreach. In this role, you are responsible for increasing the hospital’s presence in the community, reaching new patients, and ensuring patients receive effective and coordinated care.

What is different about this approach, then what was happening previously? Using bullet points, clearly define a minimum of three benefits of your plan for moving forward.
