1. SECURING MUNICIPAL SUPPORT FOR YOUR HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
One of the key stakeholders for any health centre is the local municipality. Having excellent quality care close to home is a key issue for many communities. Part of protecting the quality of care is the financial resources Foundations raise for various projects. Municipalities have become major funding partners in this goal. The session will be an interactive group discussion with attendees sharing strategies that have
worked to secure municipal funding in their communities. The session will also cover some pitfalls one can experience during a lengthy municipal solicitation.
