Doctors' Memorial Hospital in Perry, Fla., and Tallahassee (Fla.) Memorial HealthCare have finalized an agreement creating an equal governance partnership.

Under the agreement, representatives from both organizations will work together to prioritize projects that will help them achieve the goals of financial stability, greater quality of care and improved access. The partnership will strengthen and expand clinical services to improve access to care, boost financial practices to ensure stability and increase the availability of clinical tools that will improve quality of care, according to a news release.
