Isn't that special. Louisiana hospital could be the first--and, if successful, probably not the last--to finance a new facility by selling bonds to doctors.
Lafayette (La.) General Medical Center is trying to raise funds for a $75 million heart hospital by selling bonds to doctors. If the sale is successful, a flood of similar deals could follow. The project's chief architect, Robert Rosenfield, left, says his firm already is working on 25 to 30 additional deals. What effect will this type of financial arrangement have on the healthcare industry?
