What Is a Hospital Near-Death Experience?
Can a hospital have a near-death experience? If so, what would that look like?
For Haywood Regional Medical Center, “near-death” took the form of involuntary termination from Medicare.

But, with quick corrective action and strong leadership, the medical center regained its Medicare certification and received a second chance to thrive.
