Business Strategy
We are committed to providing the communities we serve with high quality, cost-effective health care while
growing our business, increasing our profitability and creating long-term value for our stockholders. To achieve
these objectives, we align our efforts around the following growth agenda:
grow our presence in existing markets;
achieve industry-leading performance in clinical and satisfaction measures;
recruit and employ physicians to meet the need for high quality health services;
continue to leverage our scale and market positions to enhance profitability; and
selectively pursue a disciplined development strategy.
Health Care Facilities
We currently own, manage or operate hospitals; freestanding surgery centers; diagnostic and imaging
centers; radiation and oncology therapy centers; comprehensive rehabilitation and physical therapy centers; and
various other facilities.
At December 31, 2012, we owned and operated 156 general, acute care hospitals with 41,198 licensed beds.
Most of our general, acute care hospitals provide medical and surgical services, including inpatient care,
intensive care, cardiac care, diagnostic services and emergency services. The general, acute care hospitals also
provide outpatient services such as outpatient surgery, laboratory, radiology, respiratory therapy, cardiology and
physical therapy. Each hospital has an organized medical staff and a local board of trustees or governing board,
made up of members of the local community.
