Many nonprofit hospital chains across the nation are abandoning urban downtown hospitals and moving to the suburbs, said Rob Hawkins, senior analyst at Baltimore based Stifel Nicolaus. For profit Vanguard, however, is doing the opposite, Hawkins said. "They are one of the few guys that go to urban markets anymore and buy hospitals," Hawkins said. "They buy them at the right price and make them operate better and still get growth and still preserve services in places where people are walking away."
