Abstract: Although public/private partnerships are often viewed as mechanisms for using private monies to finance public needs, partnerships among health care providers, the business and legal communities, and the public sector offer promise as a way to realign the provision of health care to special-needs communities in the present era of managed care. In Nashville, Tennessee, such a partnership promises to provide efficient, state-of-the-art medical care through a centralized city-wide clinic for HIV-positive individuals.
