How many hospitals have their Volunteer Services structured as an official department within the hospital?
Additionally, when a volunteer department conducts fundraising activities (such as bake sales or uniform sales), how are the proceeds typically handled?
- Do the funds remain in an auxiliary account or are they transferred into a hospital account?
- Who is responsible for managing these funds?
- Do these funds carry over year to year, or are they dissolved/reset at the end of the fiscal year?
