In the initial surge of Covid-19, many were expecting a buyer’s market for physician groups. Now that most independent groups have managed through the initial surge, these practices are looking for new partnership opportunities beyond acquisition.

Host Rachel (Rae) Woods sits down with physician practice experts Sarah Hostetter and Julie Riley to talk about the current state of physician consolidation, the types of health care players forming partnerships, and how partnerships can build up and support independent practice.
