Chapter subjects include those about the values and functions of voluntary health agencies and where they lag in their missions, what they can do to increase their effectiveness, the democratic process at work in agencies, the roles of state and national organizations, financing voluntary health work, professional organizations, volunteers, attitudes toward the future, and more.
