A Special Series of Interviews on Hospitals' Access to Capital...
We have, as an editorial policy, taken a strong interest in our nation's community hospitals' access to capital given projected needs.   These features are part of an ongoing series of articles and audio interviews relating to hospitals' access to capital. 

During 2003 and 2004 a collaboration of organizations--the Healthcare Financial Management Association,
GE Healthcare Financial Services and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP--launched a year-long series of
studies called "Financing the Future" which will result in a series of reports, the first two of which are available.
James Unland, Editor of the Journal of Health Care Finance, recently had the opportunity to interview
Richard L. Clarke, President and CEO of the HFMA, and Randy Fuller, Hospital Segment Manager for GE Healthcare Financial Services.

Listen to the Interview with Dick Clarke and Randy Fuller

Note: The first guest speaker is Dick Clarke who follows the topic's introduction by James Unland. The phone connection was not ideal for Dick's remarks but they are definitely worth hearing!
The audio quality phone connection for Randy Fuller was very good.  You may need to adjust the volume on your computer's speakers accordingly.
