On a same facility basis, patient admissions to the Company's acute care hospitals located in the U.S. and Puerto Rico remained relatively unchanged during the quarter ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter while patient admissions to the Company's behavioral health care facilities owned in both periods increased approximately 3%.

Certain statements in this release may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to various risks and uncertainties as discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is not obligated to update these forward-looking statements even if the Company's assessment of these risks and uncertainties changes. The Company uses operating income and/or operating margin, which are commonly used indicators within the health care industry, as analytical indicators for purposes of assessing operating performance of its facilities. Operating income and operating margin should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, and the items excluded from operating income and operating margin are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because operating income and operating margin are not measurements determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, operating income and operating margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
