As one of the largest hospital organizations in the nation, the company's... size provides an advantageous economy of scale and critical resources to help local hospitals identify and act on opportunities.

Acquisitions also have fueled the company's growth. Dozens of individual community hospitals and small healthcare systems have joined the company's organization over the past decade.
