Frequently Asked Questions

I received a legal notice in the mail in connection with QHC’s restructuring. What does this mean for me?

These notices are being mailed to a wide range of stakeholders, including current and former employees, as well as suppliers, some physicians, patients (including minor children), and others who have interacted with Quorum Health over the past few years. While the legal notice is lengthy and complex, it is a customary part of the financial restructuring process and will not impact our relationship with you. Please know that this notice is simply to keep you informed of our process.

My minor child received a legal notice. What does this mean?

If your minor child received a notice, please do not be alarmed as it most likely indicates your child was recently a patient at a Quorum Health facility. These letters are court-required notices that must be sent to all potential creditors, including patients.

What does this mean? Is QHC going out of business? Will the company and its hospitals continue operating?

This balance sheet restructuring does not affect the company’s operations. Our hospitals remain open and available to care for patients and the QHR Health subsidiary will continue serving its hospital, health system and healthcare provider clients.

 Is this filing related to the COVID-19 pandemic?

While Quorum Health has been transparent about the need to restructure the size and cost of its debt for many months, this action comes at a critical time. Our ability to continue meeting the needs of the patients and communities we serve is more important than ever. We believe this financial reorganization not only ensures Quorum hospitals can continue to care for their communities during this unprecedented time, but also better positions our company for future growth.

Why is this happening?       

Though earnings from overall operations have been positive, the size and cost of the debt that was put in place when the company was formed in 2016 have significantly limited our ability to manage and fund growth. This financial restructuring plan will allow us to build upon the important progress we have made in recent years while reducing our total debt and improving our interest rate. It is also intended to ensure Quorum hospitals have the resources and cash flow needed to continue operating throughout the COVID-19 crisis.

Will patient care be impacted?

No. We will continue caring for patients as we always have. The intent of the plan is to ensure that patients and families experience the same care that exists today.

How long will the restructuring process last? 

The process is expected to last approximately two months.
