Assess the wisdom of strategic affiliation

As the health care landscape changes, your organization may find that the best way to remain financially viable and most effectively meet your community’s health care needs is to enter into an affiliation with a compatible organization.  Or, you may find just the opposite, realizing that you can best meet local needs by remaining a stand-alone or independent hospital.
