title: Not-for-profits like the fit of former for-profits.
abstract: Not-for-profit hospitals and systems are expanding market share through purchases of for-profit facilities that have come up for sale. As for-profits scale back their growth or divest properties to finance leveraged buy-outs, not-for-profits are there to add key markets that may not have been accessible otherwise.
