Nielsen Says Cardiology Practice Closing a Sign of Move to Larger Networks

“This is, I’m sure, cataclysmic to patients, but it’s a sign of what’s happening. We’re going to see more of that. We’re going to see more affiliations, more mergers, more acquisitions — just as you’re seeing between hospitals,” she said.
