U.S. children's hospitals expanding

A nationwide building boom for children’s hospitals was reported yesterday in the Boston Globe The boom, writes reporter Liz Kowalczyk, "means that pediatric hospitals will intensify their regional and national marketing to parents and referring doctors as they rush to attract more patients to their expensive, highly specialized new facilities." The story should be of interest to Spokane’s hospital industry in light of Sacred Heart Medical Center’s Children’s Hospital project.
