Kevin Gross, president of Ardent Health Services, Oklahoma division and CEO of Hillcrest HealthCare System, served as an advisor to the report, and, says, “What really struck me is that 21% have nothing planned for M&A. That probably reflects uncertainty. It’s a difficult time. How do we navigate the next couple of years?”
