While in the acquisition process, Joice said the company prioritized potential locations and hospital demographics to be taken over, rather than focusing solely on services and facilities available at the hospital.
According to Joice, this is the company's effort to expand its reach and strengthen its presence, so that it can support long-term business expansion more effectively.
