Andrew Sherman was quoted in this insightful article about the financial stress of hospitals around the country. He stated: “I think it has hit more of a crisis stage over the last two or three years, and now we’re sort of in the depths of the crisis .… At this stage, government is trying to allow market forces to take down hospitals, but the problem is that market forces may take hospitals away from individuals who need it. That’s what makes a hospital unique, that the community really needs it.”
