“DBA Announcements” are also searchable, which includes hospital transitions in ownership, partnerships, name changes, rebranding, and new designations such as those involving hospitals that have changed trauma center certifications.

The information can be sorted by Date, Region or State, and all of the data is searchable by specific facilities as well as by free-form keywords, which allows easy filtering.
