Duration: 75 minutes
Webinar recorded on: 01/15/2020

Health centers today operate in an increasingly crowded health care landscape, often competing for personnel as well as patients. A common approach to address challenges like provider shortages, in primary care or specialties, is by joining forces with other provider groups or organizations, including: hospitals, health systems, other ambulatory care facilities, behavioral health facilities, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and Skilled Nursing Facilities.

There are many different collaboration models that allow health centers to support and improve the provision of quality health care services to all populations in their community. Increasingly, health centers are looking to merge with another health center or a non-health center as both a means to enhance operations and reduce expenses. 

For health centers considering such a move, it is critical to closely consider federal requirements from the Department of Health and Human Services. In particular, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has a robust prior approval process for transferring a Section 330 grant pursuant to a merger. This webinar will discuss relevant merger considerations, including common questions like:

  • How will this impact your scope of project?
  • Will you need to make adjustments to your governing board?
  • What does this mean for your current staffing arrangements?
  • Is there property or equipment in which the government retains a federal interest?

Target Audience

  • Executive Team: CEOs, CFOs,  and COOs

  • Describe the corporate consolidation models
  • Identify and address key questions to assess the viability of a merger

Certificates of Attendance: We verify attendance upon completion of a webinar (live or recorded version) and will only issue certificates in the name of the account holder enrolled in the course. If you need to document attendance for someone other than the account holder, we provide blank Certificates of Attendance for a supervisor to sign and certify that a different individual viewed the course. 

Group Attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
