Persistent market pressures and economic challenges are prompting many smaller health systems, independent hospitals, and medical groups to consider partnership options. Yet many organizations are concerned about the potential loss of decision-making autonomy, historical identity, and community focus that may accompany a transaction. However, merging, acquiring, or being acquired are not the only paths forward—and a thorough assessment of the alternatives will ensure the decision is an enlightened one.

We evaluate strategic gaps, current financial and operational performance, competitive dynamics, and the market’s potential evolution to help you make an informed decision about your organization’s future.
