Hospital and health system consolidations are among the most striking changes happening in our health care landscape today.  Regardless of the terminology – merger, acquisition, lease, partner, affiliate or align -- the bottom line is the same:  things are changing.  As one hospital leader said:  “Everybody is talking to everybody!”

For the board and executive leadership of an institution, there is no more significant or difficult decision than contemplating changes in the control of a community’s hospital.  For a larger organization taking on a smaller partner, a successful affiliation can become a game changer. 

Join us to learn insights from the key players into one of the major new affiliations in our state – that of the former Southwest Washington Medical Center in Vancouver with the PeaceHealth system, which has facilities in Washington , Oregon and Alaska .
