"Finally! The book that all health care board members needed but
were afraid to ask for! Those dark days of staring at
incomprehensible numbers during board meetings, of nervous nodding
when their financially-literate brethren make comments or ask
questions, of voting on things that they do not understand are
gone! This book is long overdue and should be read by every trustee
who is not a finance professional."
