In our arena, we do not. Our competition is really the big hospital in the urban market. If we have the same quality of doctors, and we have the technology in our hospitals, we can compete very effectively because it means patients won t have to drive 40 - 80 miles away to receive care. They will have quality care in their own hospital, in their own backyard. By providing an outstanding medical community, we ve been able to energize entire communities that can now attract additional industry because now the community has an outstanding health care source.
Stock options become a big incentive for people to join our company.
Secondly, we re a very decentralized company, which gives people opportunities, especially Executive Directors, Controllers and Directors of Nursing in our hospitals. Those are the three major leadership positions in our hospitals. The company gives these local managers the ability to operate that hospital and be entrepreneurial in operating it. We naturally provide the financial resources to be able to expand those hospitals and allow them to serve their markets far better than ever before. That is a real incentive.
