About Physicians Regional Healthcare System

Community Health Systems (CHS) isn't much of a city dweller. The hospital operator prefers small-town America, owning or leasing more than 130 hospitals mostly in rural areas or small cities in about 30 states. Its hospitals (which house roughly 20,000 beds) typically act as the sole or primary acute health care provider in their service areas. They offer a variety of medical, surgical, and emergency services and generally have ancillary facilities that include doctors' offices, outpatient surgery centers, and diagnostic imaging facilities. CHS' Quorum Health subsidiary provides management services to non-affiliated hospitals.
