MS Healthcare Executives 2019 Summer Education

Leading Through Mergers and Acquisitions
The only constant in life is change, and no industry has experienced more change
and upheaval in recent years than the healthcare industry. Hospitals have been
caught up in a sweeping trend of consolidation and there has been much debate
about whether consolidation in the healthcare sector will help or hurt patients,
with many arguing that fewer hospitals will result in higher prices and inferior
care. Others argue the exact opposite. The forces driving change are varied, as are
the approaches hospitals are taking to adapt. One of the clearest consequences of
change is the recent surge in merger and acquisition activity. As a leader in the
healthcare industry, executives must be prepared to lead their organization, their
employees and community through this transition.
