Case study. Challenges and opportunities for integrated health systems in rural communities.
You might not think of Holland, Michigan (pop. 35,000), as an HMO hotbed. But it has an HMO that was started by the local hospital and that now is part of the Butterworth Regional Health Network in Grand Rapids. Holland is one of five communities profiled in this first of a series on how managed care and integration are coming to rural America.
