CYH Announces Second Quarter 2017 Results
Commenting on the results, Wayne T. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of Community
Health Systems, Inc., said, Obviously, we are disappointed with our performance during the second quarter. Our financial results reflect weaker than expected volumes, which negatively affected our net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA performance.
We are seeing better results in certain areas, and we continue to work on a number of initiatives to drive operational and financial improvements. In terms of our divestiture program, we completed several transactions during the second quarter and
remain on track to complete other announced divestitures in the third quarter of 2017. We also announced that we are pursuing the disposition of additional hospitals, as we shift to a smaller, stronger portfolio of assets.
