As the number of religious sisters decreases and as hospitals are increasingly managed and staffed by laity, there is a national trend toward religious sisters who do not work in the hospital serving on its board of trustees. These sisters are fully responsible board members lending their considerable life experience and their sense of mission to dedicated service and Catholic witness on hospital boards.
随着宗教修女数量的减少，以及医院越来越多地由平信徒管理和配备人员，全国出现了一种趋势，即不在医院工作的宗教修女进入医院董事会任职。这些修女是完全负责的董事会成员，她们将自己丰富的生活经验和使命感带入医院董事会，致力于服务和见证天主教信仰。
