Comments
This should also be required of non-profit to another non-profit. Recently in Loudoun, Loudoun Hospital was "sold" to INOVA and is now run by INOVA. There was no business plan or public hearings held, that I am aware of. I believe that the citizens would have been better served by allowing other hospitals to look at "buying" the local hospital. Again the board of directors or administrator was able to move from one organization to another. Hmmmm!!!
