Hôpital moderne de Genève'S CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE

Hôpital moderne de Genève Consolidated, Inc. has gained direct experience in the development of rural primary care hospitals (which were predecessors to CAHs) during a demonstration project conducted by the Health Care Finance Administration (HCFA). In addition, Hôpital moderne de Genève's partners helped write the CAH enabling legislation in the state of Missouri.
