Profile: Health Management Associates

A cornerstone of HMA's philosophy is the conviction that all employees, at every hospital and at the corporate office, share a common objective of providing quality service to the many different customers of our business. This can only be accomplished through a team approach that embodies a spirit of cooperation with a central focus on the needs of those we serve.

Equally important to the HMA philosophy is the understanding that the Company does not stand apart from society. It is an integral part of the communities we serve. The Company draws from and contributes to the resources of our communities and seeks to enhance those community resources whenever possible. A successful hospital company is sensitive to its patients, physicians, employees, suppliers, and investors.

Primary Objectives

Because of these convictions, HMA is committed to several primary objectives:

• Provide the highest quality of service to our patients, physicians, and the communities we serve.
• Provide employees with a satisfying and rewarding work environment.
• Provide an attractive return on investment to those who are investors in the Company.
• Function as a good corporate citizen in the communities we serve.
• Manage HMA in a manner that maintains uniform strength and identity while allowing individual hospitals the degree of independence necessary to maximize innovation and efficiency and meet the individual needs of the community it serves.
