(Recorded Webinar) Implementing Affiliations within the Bounds of HRSA Restrictions: Exploring the Range of Opportunities

Duration: 51 minutes
Recorded on: 11/3/2022

Health centers often seek to affiliate with other entities in an effort to expand services and health center resources. There is a broad spectrum of opportunities, ranging from corporate consolidation, such as merger, to the purchase of administrative and/or clinical support services. Health centers must, however, scrutinize whether and how such opportunities are restricted by virtue of the HRSA programmatic requirements.  

As a transactional attorney at Feldesman for over 15 years, Carrie Riley has assisted hundreds of health centers explore and implement affiliation opportunities. During this webinar, Carrie will answer the below 10 most frequently asked questions and touch upon common pitfalls and innovative strategies: 

  1. Can a health center be a subsidiary to another non-profit corporation?
  2. What is the difference between an acquisition and a merger?  
  3. Can a health center merge with another health center?  Can a health center merge with a non-profit corporation that isn’t a health center?  
  4. What is the process for transferring a health center grant?  
  5. Can another non-profit corporation appoint members to the health center’s governing board? 
  6. Can a health center contract for management staff and/or administrative services? 
  7. Can a health center accept a grant or loan from a hospital?
  8. When must HRSA approve an affiliation? 
  9. What are some collaboration models that often set the foundation for a future more integrated affiliation relationship?  
  10. What is the best process to kick off the planning process to explore affiliation opportunities?
