title: Keeping an eye on Kaiser the giant.
abstract: The Kaiser name is everywhere in California, and because of its size, competing hospitals tend to keep close track of what the company is doing. Through mergers and affiliations, more facilities are building the marketing and financial muscle needed to do battle with the giant. Meanwhile, as Kaiser has expanded outside the West Coast, struggles have accompanied the successes.
