Merger boosts quality and service.
Three hospitals in a predominantly rural, grain-producing county in North Central Ohio merged in the mid-1980s to fortify their financial stability and serve their communities in a more effective and cost-efficient manner. As part of the merger, the finance departments of the three institutions reorganized into one centralized department.
