Rural Affiliations
For any rural hospital or health system evaluating its affiliation options, it is critical to ensure that prospective partners understand the value that your organization can bring to the affiliation. It’s important to fully vet potential partners to make sure they understand the unique value drivers of rural healthcare affiliations. Prospective partners should have a record of harnessing those opportunities to improve healthcare delivery in rural communities.
