title: Multi-unit Providers Survey. For-profits report decline in acute-care hospitals ... newcomers to top 10.
abstract: For-profit hospital systems cleaned house last year. After years of adding hospitals, investor-owned operators shed facilities in 1998, recording the first decline in the number of acute-care hospitals they've owned or managed since 1991, according to our 23rd annual Multi-unit Providers Survey.
