Culture
The key elements of our business strategy are to: Increase Revenue at Our Facilities We seek to increase our share of the healthcare dollars spent by local residents and limit inpatient and outpatient migration to larger urban facilities. Our initiatives to increase revenue include:
  • recruiting additional primary care physicians and specialists;
  • expanding the breadth of services offered at our hospitals through targeted capital expenditures; and
  • providing the capital to invest in our facilities, particularly in our emergency rooms and ancillary services.
Grow Through Selective Acquisitions Each year we intend to acquire, on a selective basis, two to four hospitals. We estimate that there are currently approximately 325 hospitals that meet our acquisition criteria. These hospitals are primarily not-for-profit or municipally owned. We pursue acquisition candidates that:
  • have a general service area population between 20,000 and 200,000 with a stable or growing population base;
  • are the sole or primary provider of general hospital services in the community;
  • are located more than 25 miles from a competing hospital;
  • are not located in an area that is dependent upon a single employer or industry; and
  • have financial performance that we believe will benefit from our management's operating skills.
Reduce Costs To improve efficiencies and increase margins, we implement cost containment programs which include:
  • standardizing and centralizing our operations;
  • optimizing resource allocation by utilizing our company-devised case and resource management program;
  • capitalizing on purchasing efficiencies;
  • installing a standardized management information system; and
  • managing staffing levels.
Improve Quality We implement new programs to improve the quality of care provided. These include training programs, sharing of best practices, assistance in complying with regulatory requirements, standardized accreditation documentation, and patient, physician, and staff satisfaction surveys.
Benefits
We offer highly competitive recruitment packages providing generous start-up incentives and flexibility to meet individual needs. With over 65 acute care hospitals nationwide, located primarily in markets with less managed care than large metropolitan areas, Community Health Systems invites you to come settle down to new business success, new relationships and a new quality of life. Our hospitals are located in quiet and easy-paced communities just minutes away from some of the country's national parks, beaches, mountain ranges and metro areas. Whatever your lifestyle preference, chances are there's a CHS hospital in a community that meets your needs...a community that values local healthcare and one that strongly supports the physicians who choose to practice there.
