GPHA offers a variety of relationships to accommodate the unique
needs of each hospital and community:
Leased
GPHA assumes responsibitly for the total operation of the hospital. The
GPHA Board of Directors sets hospital policy. A local board serves in an advisory
capacity and acts as a liaison among the hospital, community and GPHA.
Managed
The local board continues to set policy and GPHA provides administrative
services. GPHA is accountable to and works with the local board.
Affiliated/Resource Sharing
Hospitals have access to one or more services offered by GPHA without being leased
or managed. Services are available on an "unbundled" basis as needed.
