Greetings and welcome from the employees and staff of Specialty Hospitals of America.

As you view our web site we hope that you will come to realize we are a different kind of healthcare company. These differences are manifested in our corporate philosophy, our healthcare facilities, and most importantly, our employees and staff.

The founding vision of our enterprise has been providing a service of extreme value to the communities we serve, including:

• Patients (the healthcare consumer)
• Physicians who work with our staff
• Families of patients
• Communities serviced by SHA facilities

Our focus will be on providing an increasingly higher level of care in an environment of efficient cost and pricing for the patient and payer.

Our methodology in the above has been proven over and over again by the "leaders in the American health care improvement movement"…. High quality healthcare, as perceived by the patient and payer is less costly. We are in the midst of an evolutionary transition in American healthcare where cost reduction, higher satisfaction from the consumer, better use of technology and more focused service line provision will better assist our country in meeting the health care needs of our people. Specialty Hospitals of America's vision is to play a significant role in that evolution.

Thank you for your interest in Specialty Hospitals of America and the hundreds of people that make our company and its vision a reality.
