To determine which sites of care to place in a market, consider two questions: (1) What primary or specialty care sites best align with our primary strategic goal? And (2) Are these potential sites feasible investments in our market?
Step 1: Use this framework to identify top priority sites by comparing their opportunity within a single strategic goal and service.
Step 2: Then, continue to the appropriate site-specific page to assess the feasibility of investment.
