Commenting on the results, Wayne T. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of Community Health Systems, Inc., said, We are pleased
with our performance for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and our ability to execute our strategy in an evolving healthcare environment. These results reflect improved operating synergies from the integration of the HMA hospitals and a more
favorable operating environment with less weather disruptions than we experienced early in the year. At the same time, we have continued to position the Company to capitalize on the opportunities created by implementation of The Affordable Care Act.
We have already realized the early benefits of healthcare reform in the second quarter with a decline in uninsured admissions and a modest shift in payor mix, and we expect this trend to continue with further expansion of insurance coverage. While
we were pleased with the sequential improvement in our volume trends over the first quarter, we are focused on initiatives to drive our overall admissions.
Our integration of the HMA facilities is progressing on target, and we expect to achieve our estimated operating synergies for 2014. Our
results to date reflect our ability to leverage our successful model into an expanded operation that enhances the performance of our hospitals and, in turn, benefits more communities. Importantly, we continue to identify additional opportunities to
drive operating efficiencies from these acquired hospitals and we look for further improvement in the second half of 2014.
