  • Title: The conversion foundations: a pot of gold or Pandora's Box for communities.
    Author: Bader BS.
    Journal: Health Syst Lead; 1996 Oct; 3(8):4-18, 25-31. PubMed ID: 10162185.
    Abstract:
    The new charitable foundations being created when tax-exempt hospitals and HMOs go for-profit are enriching their communities with grants for health, education, housing and other worthy causes, but critics charge some deals shortchange the public. HSL Founding Publisher Barry S. Badfer looks at what the conversion foundations are doing and how to increase their accountability to serve the public good.
