Tiny Hospitals Team Up, Say No to Goliath Health Giants
In a surprising plot twist worthy of a daytime soap, independent and rural hospitals are ditching Big Health Inc. by forming cozy little neighborly alliances instead of selling out. Forget the usual corporate vampire takeover; these hospitals prefer the awkwardness of backyard block parties to pressured mergers. No flashy health systems named, but it’s happening nationwide—because apparently drowning hospitals love a good group floatie. The exact dollar amounts and specific doctors involved remain as mysterious as the hospital gown fashion code, but the vibe says, ‘We’re too broke for sorting corporate bubble tea orders, let’s bond instead.’

Rural hospitals forming alliances instead of joining health systems is proof that desperation breeds teamwork — or maybe just better potluck menus.
Big health systems are like that ex nobody wants back, so small hospitals are ghosting them and starting group chats instead.
