What is The hospital : life, death, and dollars in a small American town about?

"By following the struggle for survival of one small-town hospital and the patients who walk, or are carried, through its doors, The Hospital takes readers into the world of America's broken medical industry. Bryan, Ohio's hospital, is losing money, making it vulnerable to big health systems seeking domination, and Phil Ennen, CEO, is fighting to preserve its independence. Meanwhile, Bryan, a town of 8,500 people in Ohio's northwest corner, is still trying to recover from the Great Recession. As local leaders struggle to address the town's problems, and the hospital fights for its life amid a rapidly consolidating medical and hospital industry, a thirty-nine-year-old diabetic fights for his limbs, and a fifty-five-year-old contractor lies dying in the emergency room. With riveting storytelling, Alexander strips away the wonkiness of policy to reveal Americans' struggle for health as they battle economic forces and a medical system so fragile it blows apart when the COVID-19 pandemic hits. This book offers a blueprint for how we created the crisis we're in."-- Back cover
