Abstract:
The merger of two large not-for-profit multispecialty group practices in 1995 forced the two founding organizations into a deeper understanding of their heritage and mission. Common features of Lahey Hitchcock and similar organizations of their vintage are discussed. Issues addressed include governance, desirable leadership characteristics and growth, "incentivizing change," and workforce planning.
