This case tells the story of Dr. Bruce Siegel, a New York-born physician who, in 1996, takes a position as president of a financially troubled public hospital, Tampa General. Siegel must consider both the prospect of somehow privatizing the deficit-ridden hospital, at the same time walking a political tightrope because of the need to gain the approval of local elected officials for whatever course he plots. His choices are influenced by the fact that Tampa’s sizeable African-American community has historically been convinced that privatization of the hospital will lead to a diminution of services for low-income persons of color in the community. Siegel, himself the son of a Haitian mother, must deal with expectations that, as a person of color himself, he will hew to the consensus approach of the Tampa’s black community-at the same time understanding well that if does not put the hospital’s finances in order, he risks doing grave harm to his career as a medical administrator. HKS Case Number 1608.0
