The multi-hospital chains
are defined as:
companies that run two or more community,
acute care (medical/surgical) hospitals.
The identified chains are
based on the latest update of the
Williamson Institute (VCU Department of Health Administration)
database on hospitals, hospital systems, and markets,
which update was completed in December of 2005.
