Operations are either independent or in partnership with premier academic medical centers, large not-for-profit hospital systems, community physicians, and a community foundation through a well-established and differentiated JV model. Collectively, it functions as a unified organization with a consumer-centric approach to caring for patients and communities. The healthcare delivery model is built around the consumer, seeking to optimize access for patients and continuity of care. A comprehensive healthcare ecosystem has been developed to serve the unique needs of each patient over the course of their healthcare journey, with local physicians and providers delivering care based on the standards for their market. Focusing on establishing long-term relationships to engage with patients over their lifetime, superior, cost-effective health outcomes are sought. On average, more than 15,000 people are cared for daily across the healthcare ecosystem, and in 2023, approximately 1.2 million unique patients were served with about 5.7 million visits to healthcare providers.

Both general and specialty services, including internal medicine, general surgery, cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, women’s services, neurology, urology, and emergency services, are provided within inpatient and ambulatory care settings. In addition to 30 acute care hospitals, a broad network of ambulatory facilities and telehealth services is operated, including 146 primary care and specialty care clinics, three ambulatory surgery centers, 22 urgent care centers, two free-standing emergency departments, and ten diagnostic imaging centers.

The provider network consists of more than 380 primary care providers and over 1,340 specialists, allowing accessible and convenient healthcare to patients in the optimal location, whether in a hospital, ambulatory care, or virtual care setting. This network enables participation in multiple collaborative accountable care organizations (ACOs), which are groups of hospitals, doctors, and other providers coming together to give coordinated quality care to patients. This positioning is believed to be favorable in the evolving healthcare reimbursement landscape. The growth strategy includes accelerating ambulatory and physician alignment initiatives to expand both physical and virtual consumer access points, expecting this approach to grow market share and drive performance in connection with value-based care initiatives designed to deliver high-quality care that exceeds CMS benchmarks in a cost-effective manner for payors.

The hospital portfolio consists of 30 acute care hospitals, 18 of which are operated by JVs. Of those 18 hospitals, nine are owned and operated through limited liability companies (LLCs) that qualify as variable interest entities (VIEs). Through wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority interests in each LLC that owns and operates the hospitals are held. While majority interests in the LLCs that own and operate these hospitals are held, there are also significant minority interests held by not-for-profit medical systems, universities, academic medical centers, foundations, or a combination thereof. The nine hospitals associated with the UT Health East Texas JV are wholly-owned by the JV’s members and, as such, do not represent hospitals owned and operated as VIEs. Instead, the UT Health East Texas facilities contribute earnings to the JV to be recognized by the members on a pro rata basis according to their ownership interests. For the year ended December 31, 2023, $1.6 billion of revenue and $213.7 million of net income was attributable to JVs and VIEs, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, $415.9 million of revenue and $51.4 million of net income was attributable to JVs and VIEs, respectively. Consequently, a significant portion of revenue and net income is attributable to JVs and VIEs.
