HMA is the premier operator of acute care hospitals throughout the United States, but primarily in the southeast and southwest areas of non-urban America. When HMA acquires a medical facility, it immediately sets out to upgrade the quality of healthcare delivery and simultaneously expand its medical services so that community residents no longer need to commute to major urban centers for specialty medical care, except in rare instances. Apart from providing additional medical services, HMA upgrades the physical facility to today's technology. It also introduces a number of proven hospital management practices that greatly improve a patient¹s hospitalization experience, principally through decentralized management with centralized operating systems.
