Will Haywood Regional Medical Center Stand Alone or Merge?

Hospital signsThe Future Directions Committee for Haywood Regional Medical Center (”HRMC”) will be meeting with four groups over the next 30 days to consider their inquiries regarding an affiliation or a merger with HRMC.

According to Don Dalton, spokesman for the North Carolina Hospital Association:

“We are seeing a trend toward more mergers and affiliations. Why that is is a two-sided coin. With the smaller of the two institutions, there is typically one reason to pursue a merger or affiliation and that is you can do more for the community. There is greater access to capital and expertise that a small hospital might not have an easy time with. There is also greater stability for smaller hospitals and more services to the community.”

Do you want HRMC to merge or stand alone?
