| Pressures within the current healthcare environment, including the growth in managed care, Medicare cutbacks, and reduced public funding, are driving healthcare organizations of different types to affiliate in order to be better positioned for survival. Affiliations involving secular and religious organizations, who have certain restrictions on the delivery of reproductive health services, can be particularly challenging. During the 1990s, varied outcomes of such affiliations on the continued availability of reproductive health services were reported. This session will: 1) describe the magnitude and types of healthcare affiliations involving secular and religious parties, 2) outline the issues related to the delivery of different types of reproductive health services within those affiliations, and 3) explain models for ensuring both women's continued access to reproductive care and the completion of the affiliation | ||||
