What makes this delivery system (business model) a financially solid arrangement?
There is a national trend of greater alignment between physician practices and community-based hospitals. Together, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Manchester and Catholic Medical Center are the largest providers of Medicaid, Medicare and charitable care in the state. They share a common vision and deep commitment to expand access to care—including specialty and sub-specialty care—to local communities where there is an unmet need, particularly to the poor and under-insured.
