What's a hospital to do when hundreds and even thousands of new residents move into its formerly quiet little community every month? That's the predicament that Dixie Regional Medical Center in Utah and many other boom-town hospitals are in; they must decide how to transform themselves to meet the needs of a rapidly changing marketplace. City hospitals face a similar challenge: affluent young professionals and empty-nesters revitalize certain neighborhoods while other areas lose their long-time- and well-insured-population base to the suburbs.
当每月有数百甚至数千名新居民涌入原本宁静的小社区时，医院该怎么办？这就是犹他州的迪克西地区医疗中心以及许多其他新兴城镇医院所面临的困境；它们必须决定如何进行自我转型，以满足快速变化的市场需求。城市医院也面临类似的挑战：富裕的年轻专业人士和空巢老人使某些社区恢复活力，而其他地区长期的、拥有良好保险的人口基础却流失到了郊区。
