I wonder what this means for Mick? Does he have to do fundraisers to earn money for the Hospital? Is he responsible for any type of office work? Does he have an office? What might he offer as suggestions to efficiently run the Hospital budget better?

Maybe he doesn't have to do anything. Some "community offices" are given to "token celebrities" to add a face to their campaigns and nothing more. He may just be the image of the mechanism with basic powers.

I've been on a board of a non-profit before. Basically such boards are responsible for budgets, fund raising, choosing key salaried figures within the organization, etc. Mick is absolutely disastrous with money and decision making, so obviously like Silver Springs suggested, he's just a poster boy for this organization to give it notoriety and in turn, attract funds and talent. Board members usually have time-limited terms too, and thus non-profit organizations are always looking for key figureheads within their own community to bring weight to their cause.
