The possibility of sale of a 175-year-old nonprofit hospital to a for-profit corporation raised questions and concerns about the future of teaching and training programs at the institution. With the many challenges facing social workers in both the nonprofit and for-profit hospitals, especially the pressures for early discharge planning and developing income producing services, social work teaching and learning opportunities in hospitals may be drastically curtailed. The author enjoins social workers to maintain social work's values and ethics as they continue the roles of administrator, clinician, teacher, learner, researcher, and, most important, advocate for social policy and change.
一家拥有175年历史的非营利性医院出售给一家营利性公司的可能性引发了人们对该机构教学和培训项目未来的质疑与担忧。鉴于非营利性医院和营利性医院的社会工作者都面临诸多挑战，尤其是早期出院规划和发展创收服务的压力，医院中的社会工作教学和学习机会可能会大幅减少。作者呼吁社会工作者在继续担任管理者、临床医生、教师、学习者、研究者，以及最重要的社会政策和变革倡导者等角色时，要坚守社会工作的价值观和道德规范。
