title: Rockford will not end hospital mergers.
abstract: Following the Supreme Court's recent decision not to hear the Rockford merger case, there appears to be a growing sentiment that hospital mergers should not be attempted because they are now fraught with uncertainty. "That conclusion," says Daniel B. Higgins, lead partner for the health care group at the law firm McCutchen, Doyle, Brown & Enersen, San Francisco, "reads Rockford too broadly."
