(June 18, 2009) – Quorum Health Resources (QHR), the nation’s largest hospital management company and the seventh largest healthcare consulting firm in the United States, recently announced Kevin Andrews, CEO of Pekin Hospital, as the recipient of its top honor: CEO of the Year. The award was given as part of QHR’s 2010 Excellence in Leadership awards. “Kevin Andrews and the management team at Pekin Hospital are being celebrated for having guided their hospital through a very difficult time: In 2009, Central Illinois’ major employer downsized, driving unemployment in Pekin from 6.5 percent to 16 percent,” said QHR President and CEO James L. Horrar. “Despite these challenges, the hospital’s income statement and balance sheet remained strong – in large part because Kevin and his team instituted an expense reduction plan to accommodate the changing market dynamics.” “Kevin is a very strategic thinker,” added QHR Regional Vice President over Pekin Hospital, Gerald Parton. “He makes tough decisions because it’s the right thing to do. In doing so, he has won the respect of the hospital’s management team, hospital board and medical staff.” One example of Kevin’s commitment to sustainable success: physician relations. According to a 2008 Physician Opinion Survey, Pekin Hospital had an overall physician satisfaction rate of 63 percent. Kevin approached this challenge head-on and, as a result, in 2009, the hospital’s physician satisfaction rate was 92 percent – even as the hospital recruited six new physicians and converted employed physician contracts from fixed salary to another payment model. And when deep cuts were made to employee benefits, including frozen salaries, reduced 401K matches, decreased shift differentials and elimination of recruitment bonuses, the CEO took the bad news to the employees in person, holding town hall meetings for every shift to explain why these cuts were necessary to avoid layoffs. They didn’t like the news, but valued the transparent communication of the situation facing the hospital. “Kevin’s leadership style and the results achieved under such difficult circumstances serve as an example to us all,” Horrar concluded. “We’re proud to call him QHR’s CEO of the Year.” A native of El Paso, Texas, Kevin has served as CEO of Pekin Hospital since 2007. Prior to joining Pekin Hospital, he served as Senior Vice President, QHR Intensive Resources, which provides interim shortterm hospital operational support, and addresses and advises owners on operational improvements of financially distressed hospitals. Kevin has more than 30 years of healthcare experience, which encompasses over a decade of multi-facility management and division operations for a large hospital company. He also has 15 years of experience as a hospital CEO, five of which were spent at hospitals in the Midwest. Kevin received a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in management from Texas A & M University and a Master of Health Administration degree from Washington University. He is a fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives. In addition to the CEO of the Year award, QHR also presented 2010 Excellence in Leadership honors to CEOs at the following client hospitals: Benewah Community Hospital (Saint Maries, Idaho) Bucyrus Community Hospital (Bucyrus, Ohio) Georgetown Hospital System (Georgetown, S.C.)

(February 25, 2010) – Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland, Washington, a QHR management client since 1994, was recently included in a Consumer Reports listing of 105 hospitals in the United States reporting zero central line-associated bloodstream infections for 2008. Data used to develop the list was collected from 926 hospitals in 43 states. Central-line bloodstream infections are deadly infections associated with catheters that are placed in large veins leading to the heart. The catheters are used to transport essential nutrients, fluids and/or food in large volumes to patients in intensive care. The current average rate of infection among surgical ICUs in the United States is 2.3 infections per 1,000 central line days. Kadlec Regional Medical Center recorded 2,379 central line days with zero bloodstream infections. “It is estimated that 30 percent of the nearly 99,000 hospital-infection-related deaths in the U.S. each year come from central-line bloodstream infections. The good news is that they are largely preventable – with proper attention given to things like hand washing and disinfection of a patient’s skin,” said QHR Vice President, Clinical Operations, Pat Cooper. “This report gives definitive evidence of the high level of attention and respect being given to the patients at Kadlec. The hospital’s efforts and outcomes are truly outstanding.” “Our intensivists, nursing staff, respiratory therapists and other members of the Kadlec ICU team have developed aligned goals and adopted care bundles for a variety of situations, and the result has been a dramatically reduced rate of complications and mortality for our ICU patients,” said Kadlec Regional Medical Center CEO Rand Wortman. “We are very proud of the improvements in quality of care and patient safety that they have achieved.
