Big Healthcare is playing suitor to Community Hospital. Will an untimely leak spook negotiators and derail the deal? Will nurses quit, fearing that a megasystem is preying on the weak? Will patients welcome a white knight saving their beloved hospital? Explore how strategic communications principles applied during every phase of acquisition, a thorough communications plan, and diligent implementation can protect ongoing operations and enhance an organization’s reputation for long-term success.
