Financial and operating results are not where they need to be, but we believe we have turned the corner on profitability.
We are extremely disappointed with our fourth-quarter operating and financial performance. We have let down our customers, our shareholders and, not least of all, our employees.
Hospitals already are stretching scarce resources to respond to the daily challenges of providing care to all who come through our doors. Cuts to these resources will have a negative impact on the availability of care for the patients and communities we serve.
