New study explores patients' views of hospital fundraising

As many hospitals and health centers face dramatic drops in revenue from ramping down services during the coronavirus pandemic, donations from grateful patients and philanthropists become more important than ever. A new study looks for the first time at patients' views of hospital fundraising, including legally allowable practices that encourage physicians to work with their hospital's fundraising professionals. Reshma Jagsi, CBSSM's Director, is the lead author of a new paper published in JAMA. Dr. Jagsi's study was also highlighted in the New York Times.
