It is important to note that nonprofit care and services for the elderly have been a vital force in America since the founding of our nation. Many AAHA members have been involved in such care and service for over a century. In order to maintain this commitment to providing services to the aged in the most effective and efficient manner, non-profit organizations need to be assured of an equally important commitment to tax exemption by the government. This mutual partnership which has existed since the beginning of this country must--and hopefully will--continue.
需要注意的是，自美国建国以来，非营利性的老年护理和服务一直是美国的一股重要力量。许多美国医院协会成员从事此类护理和服务工作已有一个多世纪。为了始终如一地以最有效和高效的方式致力于为老年人提供服务，非营利组织需要确保政府对其免税做出同样重要的承诺。自美国建国之初就存在的这种相互合作关系必须——也有望——持续下去。
