An off year for consolidation. 1997 hospital mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and long-term leases.

Because of a significant drop in the number of major corporate mergers and acquisitions, total hospital consolidation in 1997 was well off the record-setting pace of previous years. The number of hospitals involved in dealmaking dropped 18% to 627 compared with the previous year, according to Modern Healthcare's fourth annual roundup of consolidation activity. And there were only four corporate deals, compared with 11 in 1996.
