title: Navigating today's opportunities for capital.
abstract: Today's lending dynamics are leading many hospitals to revisit their strategies for accessing capital: Fixed-rate bonds will likely be a centerpiece of just about any organization's capital structure going forward. Joint partnerships with physicians may provide opportunity for specific service-line strength without heavy investment in facility and equipment. Many hospitals are evaluating the sale of noncore and core assets as well as the use of ground leases or arrangements that would permit them to repurchase the assets at a later time.
