Unit 1 Case Study – Pomodoro Jackson Hospital
This is a common situation for many
hospitals. A donor emerges because the hospital has done a good deed for
them or their loved one by saving their life or the life of a person in
their family. The end result, of course, leads to a monetary donation
of some significance, but it is a directed gift for a very specific
purpose that was not originally envisioned in the strategic plan. As
noted within the case, “no good deed goes unpunished.”
