  • Title: A delicate balancing act.
    Author: Greene J.
    Journal: Mod Healthc; 1995 Mar 13; 25(11):34-6, 38, 40. PubMed ID: 10140556.
    Abstract:
    This week, Modern Healthcare begins a two-part series examining the growing number of sales of not-for-profit hospitals to for-profit chains and the consequences of those sales for the communities involved. The stories in this installment explore whether a community benefits more from having an investor-owned hospital that pays taxes or a tax-exempt hospital that provides more charity care. They also review how this issue played out in Oklahoma City 10 years after a sale. Next week: a look at whether charitable foundations created with the proceeds of sales of not-for-profits deliver on their promises. Also, an analysis of Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp.'s strategy of acquiring not-for-profits through partnership arrangements.
