About This PageThis page is dedicated to issues arising in mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures by and among health systems. Most, although not all, health systems are governed by tax-exempt nonprofit parent corporations. Although mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures by and among such entities are treated (from a legal perspective) in much the same manner as fundamental transactions among for-profit corporations, nonprofit health care systems present unique legal challenges. This page highlights some of these challenges, including the corporate governance, tax and contractual issues. Although I have provided links to sources from various states, the visitor to this page should note that many of the legal issues are governed by state law which often varies by state. This is especially true of state tax, corporate governance and licensure issues. Please feel free to comment on or contribute material here by e-mailing me at wmanning@netreach.net
