With these refinancings completed, Tenet now has in excess of $2 billion in available credit with which to fund additional acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. Barbakow added: "We are pleased to have significant new borrowing capability, but we will continue to be very selective and prudent about future acquisitions and partnerships." The Merger The merger with OrNda creates a company with 127 acute care hospitals and numerous ancillary facilities serving communities in 22 states. Of OrNda's 50 acute care hospitals, 32 complement and strengthen Tenet's existing networks, making Tenet an even stronger healthcare provider in its existing key markets and providing entree to new ones.

Martin, OrNda's former chairman and chief executive officer, said: "The merger creates economies of scale and operating efficiencies which ultimately mean better service to patients because they allow Tenet to improve its investment in the people, buildings, equipment and on the front lines of healthcare." Michael H. Focht Sr., Tenet's president and chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. , noted that the merger supports a major strategic objective by reinforcing Tenet's position in important markets such as Southern California Southern California, also colloquially known as SoCal, is the southern portion of the U.S. state of California. Centered on the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, Southern California is home to nearly 24 million people and is the nation's second most populated region, and South Florida. The merger also opens attractive new markets for Tenet in Arizona and Massachusetts. Focht emphasized, however, that Tenet will maintain its emphasis on locally directed healthcare, a cornerstone in the ability of Tenet hospitals to serve their communities professionally and compassionately. Tenet's operating culture emphasizes the importance of local governing boards comprised of physicians and community leaders who direct how Tenet hospitals address the healthcare needs of their own communities. "Healthcare is and always will be a community endeavor," Focht said. "Our hospital boards have the authority and flexibility to respond quickly to local healthcare issues. At the same time, the corporation provides access to capital, management expertise, quality indicators, information systems and the ability to negotiate with payors and providers. It's really the best of both worlds: local care backed by national resources." The merger accomplishes a number of strategic goals for Tenet, including: - improving Tenet's ability to pursue strategic acquisitions and partnerships; - providing more comprehensive coverage to group healthcare purchasers; - enhancing Tenet's ability to negotiate contracts with new providers; - achieving cost savings; - creating a combined company with greater financial resources and flexibility; and - providing accretive earnings in fiscal 1998 and beyond, after giving effect to cost savings. Although OrNda is Tenet's largest recent acquisition, it is only one of several transactions that underscore Tenet's growing success in acquiring and partnering with other hospitals and healthcare systems.
