Commercialization model

Hospital joint ventures for innovation and growth

What this model typically enables

The health system shares ownership or control of a business with another organization.

Joint ventures appear in official holdings, corporate-development, and partnership pages. They can cover ambulatory services, specialty businesses, or commercialization platforms.

The directory records joint ventures that official sources name. It does not infer a joint venture from a collaboration announcement that never uses that language.
