In this paper, we describe how the first wave of conversions affected rural hospitals’ financial performance and organizational structure. The first wave of conversions included 102 hospitals that converted during their 1999 fiscal year. The program has been extremely popular with almost one-third of the rural hospitals in the United States converted to CAH status by the end of 2002.
