(Community Health Systems Corporation filed For Fiscal Year December 31, 2005 ) : We target hospitals in growing, non-urban healthcare markets because of their favorable
demographic and economic
trends and competitive conditions. Because non-urban service areas have smaller populations, there are generally fewer hospitals and other healthcare service providers in these communities and generally a lower level of managed care presence in these markets. We believe that smaller populations support less direct competition for hospital-based services. Also, we believe that non-urban communities generally view the local hospital as an integral part of
the community.All information in this slide
