In 1996, the Federal Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act was passed to protect organizations from liability when they give good faith donations of food for charitable causes.

Skills-Based Volunteering as Corporate Self-Care

Companies are frequently likened to machines–departments chugging away in happy synchrony like a well-oiled machine. It’s easy to see why this analogy exists. It works most of the time, and it helps us to emphasize company necessities like efficiency and functionality. When we want to shift that focus towards the overall health of a company, however, we are better served by a more humanized approach.

Within our new analogy, we can reflect on how a person remains healthy.So, self-care is vital for the person, and by extension, is vital for the company. What, then, is the corporate equivalent of getting plenty of sleep, eating your veggies, and maintaining a constructive mindset? I suggest skills-based volunteering as a holistic approach to corporate health.

Identifying Approaches to Improve the Patient Experience

With the exception of the birth of a healthy baby, most people view the prospect of hospitalization with varying degrees of fear, from normal anxiety to full-blown terror. The reasons are as varied as the individuals, but often are based on the feeling of a loss of control and depersonalization. Creating a positive patient experience requires an understanding of what’s behind individual fears and adjusting the systems and protocols to relieve them as much as possible.
