Legal Notification?
If you received a legal notification by mail regarding our recently announced financial reorganization, please note that as part of the restructuring process, the Court requires Quorum Health to formally notify a wide range of stakeholders including all employees, some physicians, vendors and patients from the past six months. If a minor (child) was a patient, the notification may be addressed to that child and his/her legal guardian.
Please know that these notices are a customary part of the financial restructuring process and will not impact our relationship with you. The purpose of the notice is simply to keep you informed of our process. You may also receive additional similar notices in the coming months.
If you received this notice and would like to speak with someone about it, please call toll-free 1-866-977-0859.
Moving Forward. Stronger.
To our patients, team members and partners,
Quorum Health Corporation has taken an important action to protect its employees and continue providing care during this unprecedented time. After extensive planning, we have reached an agreement to voluntarily restructure the company’s debt.
This represents a critical step toward long-term financial stability, and we believe the financial restructuring plan will strengthen our business and enable our entire Quorum family – including QHR Health and our 23 affiliated hospitals – to continue the important work they are doing in addressing the COVID-19 crisis, as well as serve their patients and communities.
Our company has been transparent about the need to reduce the large amount of debt and the associated high interest rate inherited when Quorum Health was formed in 2016. By working with key investors in advance, we have been able to utilize the rules under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to recapitalize the company.
The operations of Quorum Health and our hospitals are unaffected and all facilities are open and available to provide patient care.
Our subsidiary, Quorum Health Resources, is also continuing to provide the same high quality services to its hospital, health system and healthcare provider clients. Employees will be paid in the ordinary course for the work they perform, and the Court has also granted authority to pay vendors for all goods and services provided before and after the filing - ensuring that these important relationships remain intact.
This process, which is expected to last approximately two months, will allow our company to maintain operations during a critical time. Upon emergence, I am confident Quorum Health will be better positioned to navigate this new reality and fund future growth.
Thank you for your continued support of our company and its mission to serve the healthcare needs of rural and non-urban communities.
Sincerely,
Bob Fish
President & Chief Executive Officer
Quorum Health Corporation
