Getting To Scale Without A Merger

Most executive teams in health and human services are thinking about 'how big is big enough'. The news of Amazon's acquisition of One Medical has dominated the market news the past couple weeks (see Amazon To Acquire Primary Care Provider One Medical For Almost $4 Billion). But there is a constant stream of announcements of mergers and acquisitions in the field like Molina Healthcare To Acquire Medicaid Plan MyChoice Wisconsin For $150 Million, Mindpath Health Acquires Acacia Counseling & Wellness, and Rush Health Systems In Mississippi Merges With Ochsner Health.

Not that there aren't hiccups. For-profit mergers . . .
