Rural Wisconsin hospitals form cooperative to curb costs
In Wisconsin rural hospitals face rising costs and dwindling Medicare payments. The Rural Wisconsin Hospital Cooperative formed in 1979 unites 18 full and 12 affiliate members to share services and purchasing. Founder Tim Size notes cooperation preserves local health care jobs and tax dollars as rural hospitals must work together to stay competitive. Gary Deml, a hospital administrator, emphasizes unity over rivalry.
