But before we get into that, could you just remind us a little bit of the Ardent story and then your overall growth strategy as it stands today?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"transcript-qna-section answer\" seq=\"3\">\n<p class=\"transcript-qna-section-title\"><span class=\"answer\"><strong>Alfred Lumsdaine<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span><i>Chief Financial Officer<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Sure. Yes, Ardent Health, we&#8217;ve been around a long time, 30 years. But the company went public 2 years ago and is still a controlled public company. But off of that IPO plan, 3-part growth strategy, focused, I&#8217;d say, first and foremost, on expanding margins. We believe we continue to have an opportunity through creating incremental scale the company had &#8212; was built off of acquisition, but has moved &#8212; transformed from being more of a holding company to more of an operating company, where we&#8217;ve consolidated a lot of the back-office operations and oversight into a single operating unit over the last several years, we still have the opportunity to optimize that platform. And we call a lot of our initiatives to expand margins, our moniker is our impact programs. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<aside\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer class=\"border-t border-share-separator-thin py-18 sm:py-24 print:hidden paywall-full-content\" data-test-id=\"post-footer\"\/><\/div>\n<p>#Ardent #Health #ARDT #Presents #Goldman #Sachs #47th #Annual #Global #Healthcare #Conference #Transcript<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Follow Play Earnings CallPlay Earnings Call Ardent Health, Inc.
