title: Nonprofit to for-profit hospital transactions: all roads lead to the attorney general's office.
abstract: As more and more hospitals travel the route from nonprofit to for-profit status, state attorneys general are increasingly playing the role of "traffic cop" along this rough and often contentious road. A better understanding of the attorney general's office and greater rapport with its officers is the "order of the day" for officers and directors looking to orchestrate such a transition.
