Dear Friends,
Here at Frankfort Regional Medical Center, we are fortunate to be affiliated with Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), a Fortune 500 company and the nation's leading provider of
healthcare services. HCA provides nearly 5 percent of all inpatient care delivered in the United States today and employs nearly 200,000 people at 163 hospitals and 110 freestanding surgery centers throughout 20 states and England. As a locally managed member of HCA's network, our hospital enjoys a wide range of benefits. These include economies of scale and access to experts across a wide range of specialties, deepening the pool of medical knowledge available to you right here at
Frankfort Regional. We're glad to be able to share all of these benefits with you, the members of our community.
In this issue of Your Health, we'll introduce you to one of our new physicians, share information about a new instrument that's refining hip replacement at Frankfort Regional and explore the benefits to expectant mothers of seeking care from a midwife. Thank you for reading!
Sincerely,
Chip Peal
CEO, Frankfort Regional
