Abstract
Wills Eye Hospital, an internationally known, not-for-profit specialist hospital, finds itself with surplus beds as technological change makes outpatients of its clientele. Any of Philadelphia''s hospitals and health organizations would stand to gain by acquiring Wills, whose control is vested in the city''s Board of Trusts. Wills'' CEO is concerned with preserving the identity and reputation of the eye hospital. He wonders, though, whether an alliance would require loss of independence.
