Abstract

The nonprofit sector is a vibrant, dynamic, and expanding portion of the United States' economy. Its growth over the past two decades has opened up many avenues for entrepreneurs wishing to create corporations that are community- and need-driven, particularly in the health services industry. The fertility of this sector has not been maximized by physicians in particular due to the tortuous path of nonprofit incorporation and accreditation. This article focuses on reviewing the structure of nonprofits and streamlining the establishment process.
