Discussion of new strategy and whether it is financially viable:
The new strategy is to balance the mission to serve against tight fiscal environments at federal, state, and local levels. The strategy has difficulties in it being financially viable.

The fifth component of the strategy is to increase the satisfaction of employees, volunteers, and patients. The drawback of this strategy is that increasing satisfaction of employees may require an increase in compensation package of the staff. This is not financially viable.
