The use of new public governance provides a tool for analyzing how well governance between the region and the municipality is in the case of the hospital. Welfare as a planning tool provides insight in understanding what role the hospital plays for respective actor in a welfare context and peripheralization is a concept that is used to analyze what processes are at play in the case that are part of peripheralizing Sollefteå.
