title: A new governance framework. A rural system reinvents its board structure.
abstract: Take a rural health care system, remove its long-time and well-respected CEO who's just retired, and throw in the need to streamline a clunky governance structure--and you have the Copley Health System in Vermont. In response, the system has come up with some fresh ideas about how to restructure for its future.
