In this episode, we discuss the current trend in the health care industry regarding the development of micro-hospitals, especially in certain rural areas. We explain what a micro-hospital is (and is not), the drivers behind the proliferation of micro-hospitals in certain areas of the country, and the various ways they are being financed.

Phil Legendy, Of Counsel and Co-Leader of Ballard’s Health Care Industry Team, hosts the discussion. Phil is joined by Bill Rhodes, a Partner in our Public Finance Group and Leader of the firm’s Education Industry Team, Kevin Cunningham, Senior Counsel in the Public Finance Group, and Eric Temmel, an Associate in the Health Care Industry Team.
