Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, and disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The financial statements include the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, income statements, comprehensive income statements, statements of cash flows and statements of changes in equity of the Company and its affiliates, which are controlled by the Company through the Company’s direct or indirect ownership of a majority equity interest and rights granted to the Company through certain variable interests. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company's final prospectus, dated July 17, 2024, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on July 18, 2024 (the "Final Prospectus") in connection with the Company's initial public offering.
Adoption of recently issued accounting standards, and pronouncements not yet adopted	Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting and applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Entities may adopt ASU 2020-04 as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020 or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company adopted the standard as of January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), which expands disclosures about reportable segments and provides requirements for more detailed reporting of a segment’s expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. Additionally, ASU 2023-07 requires all segment profit or loss and assets disclosures to be provided on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning one year later. Early adoption is permitted, and amendments must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The adoption of this guidance will not impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires a public business entity to disclose specific categories in its annual effective tax rate reconciliation and provide disaggregated information about significant reconciling items by jurisdiction and by nature. ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments (net of refunds) to international, federal, and state and local jurisdictions and includes several other changes to income tax disclosure requirements. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance will not affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities GAAP requires variable interest entities (“VIEs”) to be consolidated if an entity’s interest in the VIE is a controlling financial interest in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation. Under the variable interest model, a controlling financial interest is determined based on which entity, if any, has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the losses, or the right to receive benefits, from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company performs ongoing reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE could cause the Company’s consolidation conclusion to change. The consolidation status of the VIEs with which the Company is involved may change as a result of such reassessments. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns majority interests in certain limited liability companies (“LLCs”), with each LLC owning and operating one or more hospitals. The noncontrolling interest is typically owned by a not-for-profit medical system, university, academic medical center or foundation or combination thereof (individually or collectively referred to as “minority member”). The employees that work for the LLC and the related hospital(s) are employees of the Company, and the Company manages the day-to-day operations of the LLC and the hospital(s) pursuant to a management services agreement (“MSA”). The LLCs are VIEs due to their structure as LLCs and the control that resides with the Company through the MSA. The Company consolidates each of these LLCs as it is considered the primary beneficiary due to the MSA providing the Company the right to direct the day-to-day operating and capital activities of the LLC and the respective hospital(s) that most significantly impact the LLC’s economic performance. Additionally, the Company would absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of its majority ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. The MSAs are subject to termination only by mutual agreement of the Company and minority member, except in the case of gross negligence, fraud or bankruptcy of the Company, in which case the minority member can force termination of the MSA. The governance rights of the minority members are restricted to those that protect their financial interests and do not preclude consolidation of the LLCs. The rights of minority members generally are limited to the right to approve the issuance of new ownership interests, calls for additional cash contributions, the acquisition or divestiture of significant assets and the incurrence of debt in excess of levels not expected to be incurred in the normal course of business. All of the Company’s VIEs meet the definition of a business, and the Company holds a majority of their issued voting equity interest. Their assets are not required to be used only for the settlement of VIE obligations as the Company has the ability to direct the use of the VIE assets through its joint venture and cash management agreements.
Accounting estimates	Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue generally relates to contracts with patients in which its performance obligations are to provide healthcare services to the patients. Revenue is recorded during the period the Company’s obligations to provide healthcare services are satisfied. Revenue for performance obligations satisfied over time is recognized based on charges incurred in relation to total expected charges. The Company’s performance obligations for inpatient services are generally satisfied over periods that average approximately five days. The Company’s performance obligations for outpatient services are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day. As the Company’s performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of one year or less, the Company elected the optional exemption under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and, therefore, is not required to disclose the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations at the end of the reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize revenue. Additionally, the Company is not required to adjust the consideration for the existence of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of the services and the payment for such services is one year or less. Contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, involve a third-party payor (Medicare, Medicaid and managed care health plans) and the transaction prices for services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by (Medicare and Medicaid) or negotiated with (managed care health plans) the third-party payors. The payment arrangements with third-party payors for the services provided to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than the Company’s standard charges. The Company’s revenue is based upon the estimated amounts the Company expects to be entitled to receive from patients and third-party payors. Estimates of contractual adjustments under managed care insurance plans are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Revenue related to uninsured patients and copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have healthcare coverage may have discounts applied (uninsured discounts and other discounts). The Company also records estimated implicit price concessions (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to uninsured accounts to record self-pay revenue at the estimated amounts expected to be collected. Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts, under which the discounts from the Company’s standard charges must be calculated, are complex and are subject to interpretation and adjustment. The Company estimates contractual adjustments on a payor-specific basis based on its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. However, the necessity of the services authorized and provided, and resulting reimbursements, are often subject to interpretation. These interpretations may result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating continual review and assessment of the estimates by management. Laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Estimated reimbursement amounts are adjusted in subsequent periods as cost reports are prepared and filed and as final settlements are determined (in relation to certain government programs, primarily Medicare, this is generally referred to as the “cost report” filing and settlement process). Settlements under reimbursement agreements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Final determination of amounts earned under the Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payor programs often occurs in subsequent years because of audits by the programs, rights of appeal, and the application of technical provisions. Settlements are considered in the recognition of net patient service revenue on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered, and such amounts are subsequently adjusted in future periods as adjustments become known or as years are no longer subject to such audits and reviews. Differences between original estimates and subsequent revisions, including final settlements, are included in the results of operations of the period in which the revisions are made.
Texas Waiver Program	Texas Waiver Program Certain of the Company’s facilities receive supplemental Medicaid reimbursement, including reimbursement from programs supported by broad-based provider taxes to fund the non-federal share of Medicaid programs or fund indigent care within a state. The State of Texas operates the Texas Health Care Transformation and Quality Improvement Program pursuant to a Medicaid waiver, the Texas Waiver Program (the “Program”), granted by Section 1115 of the Social Security Act. The Program expands managed care programs in the state, provides funding for uncompensated care and supports various delivery system reform initiatives. On March 25, 2022, the Program was extended through September 2030; however, certain delivery system reform initiatives within the Program operate under separate approval periods. The timing, determination and basis of funding is specific to the Program’s various components. For example, reimbursements associated with the Program’s uncompensated care component are determined based on a participating provider’s costs incurred with providing unreimbursed care to Medicaid and uninsured patients. The Company accrues for estimated payments associated with the Program’s uncompensated care component to be received in the period in which the associated unreimbursed care is provided constrained to an amount such that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue is not probable in the future. Payments associated with certain directed payment programs are contingent on a provider reporting and meeting certain pre-determined metrics and clinical outcomes and contributing to the non-federal share of the Program component via provider assessments. The Company accrues directed payment program funding in the period in which metrics are expected to be achieved and collection is reasonably assured. Management routinely monitors communications regarding the Program from the State of Texas and CMS to ensure there is no uncertainty about entitlement or collectability, such as disruption in state and federal funding.
Fair value of financial instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued salaries and benefits, accrued interest and other accrued expenses and current liabilities (other than those pertaining to lease liabilities) are reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at amounts that approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s revolving credit facility also approximates its carrying value as it bears interest at current market rates. Refer to Note 5, Interest Rate Swap Agreements, for discussion of the fair value measurement of the Company’s derivative instruments.
Noncontrolling Interests	Noncontrolling Interests The financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of hospital and healthcare operations in which the Company owned less than 100% of the equity interests, but maintained a controlling interest during the presented periods. Earnings or losses attributable to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately in the consolidated income statements. In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, holders of noncontrolling interests are considered to be equity holders in the consolidated company, pursuant to which noncontrolling interests are classified as part of equity, unless the noncontrolling interests are redeemable. Certain redemptive features associated with the noncontrolling interests for The University of Kansas Health System – St. Francis Campus (“St. Francis”) could require the Company to deliver cash if the redemptive features are exercised. These redemptive features could be exercised upon, among other things, the Company’s exclusion or suspension from participation in any federal or state government healthcare payor program. Therefore, the noncontrolling interests balance for St. Francis is classified outside the permanent equity section of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The redeemable noncontrolling interests related to St. Francis at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 have not been subsequently measured at fair value since the acquisition date. The noncontrolling interests are not currently redeemable and it is not probable that the noncontrolling interests will become redeemable as the possibility of the Company being excluded or suspended from participation in any federal or state government healthcare payor program is remote.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares, such as stock options and unvested restricted stock units, were exercised and converted into shares. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and were dilutive.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting The Company has one reportable segment: healthcare services. The healthcare services segment provides healthcare services primarily through its ownership and operation of hospitals, certain of which provide related healthcare services through physician practices, outpatient centers, and post-acute facilities. The CODM is its President and Chief Executive Officer, who regularly reviews financial operating results on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s CODM manages the operations on a consolidated basis to make decisions about overall company resource allocation and to assess overall company performance. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all of the Company’s long-lived assets were located in the United States, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, all revenue was earned in the United States.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2024

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, and disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The financial statements include the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, income statements, comprehensive income statements, statements of cash flows and statements of changes in equity of the Company and its affiliates, which are controlled by the Company through the Company’s direct or indirect ownership of a majority equity interest and rights granted to the Company through certain variable interests. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company's final prospectus, dated July 17, 2024, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on July 18, 2024 (the "Final Prospectus") in connection with the Company's initial public offering.

Adoption of recently issued accounting standards, and pronouncements not yet adopted

Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting and applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Entities may adopt ASU 2020-04 as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020 or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company adopted the standard as of January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), which expands disclosures about reportable segments and provides requirements for more detailed reporting of a segment’s expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. Additionally, ASU 2023-07 requires all segment profit or loss and assets disclosures to be provided on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning one year later. Early adoption is permitted, and amendments must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The adoption of this guidance will not impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires a public business entity to disclose specific categories in its annual effective tax rate reconciliation and provide disaggregated information about significant reconciling items by jurisdiction and by nature.

The Company performs ongoing reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE could cause the Company’s consolidation conclusion to change. The consolidation status of the VIEs with which the Company is involved may change as a result of such reassessments. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively.

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns majority interests in certain limited liability companies (“LLCs”), with each LLC owning and operating one or more hospitals. The noncontrolling interest is typically owned by a not-for-profit medical system, university, academic medical center or foundation or combination thereof (individually or collectively referred to as “minority member”). The employees that work for the LLC and the related hospital(s) are employees of the Company, and the Company manages the day-to-day operations of the LLC and the hospital(s) pursuant to a management services agreement (“MSA”).

The LLCs are VIEs due to their structure as LLCs and the control that resides with the Company through the MSA. The Company consolidates each of these LLCs as it is considered the primary beneficiary due to the MSA providing the Company the right to direct the day-to-day operating and capital activities of the LLC and the respective hospital(s) that most significantly impact the LLC’s economic performance.

The MSAs are subject to termination only by mutual agreement of the Company and minority member, except in the case of gross negligence, fraud or bankruptcy of the Company, in which case the minority member can force termination of the MSA.

The governance rights of the minority members are restricted to those that protect their financial interests and do not preclude consolidation of the LLCs. The rights of minority members generally are limited to the right to approve the issuance of new ownership interests, calls for additional cash contributions, the acquisition or divestiture of significant assets and the incurrence of debt in excess of levels not expected to be incurred in the normal course of business.

All of the Company’s VIEs meet the definition of a business, and the Company holds a majority of their issued voting equity interest. Their assets are not required to be used only for the settlement of VIE obligations as the Company has the ability to direct the use of the VIE assets through its joint venture and cash management agreements.

Texas Waiver Program

Certain of the Company’s facilities receive supplemental Medicaid reimbursement, including reimbursement from programs supported by broad-based provider taxes to fund the non-federal share of Medicaid programs or fund indigent care within a state. The State of Texas operates the Texas Health Care Transformation and Quality Improvement Program pursuant to a Medicaid waiver, the Texas Waiver Program (the “Program”), granted by Section 1115 of the Social Security Act. The Program expands managed care programs in the state, provides funding for uncompensated care and supports various delivery system reform initiatives.

Management routinely monitors communications regarding the Program from the State of Texas and CMS to ensure there is no uncertainty about entitlement or collectability, such as disruption in state and federal funding.

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued salaries and benefits, accrued interest and other accrued expenses and current liabilities (other than those pertaining to lease liabilities) are reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at amounts that approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s revolving

credit facility also approximates its carrying value as it bears interest at current market rates. Refer to Note 5, Interest Rate Swap Agreements, for discussion of the fair value measurement of the Company’s derivative instruments.

Noncontrolling Interests

The financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of hospital and healthcare operations in which the Company owned less than 100% of the equity interests, but maintained a controlling interest during the presented periods. Earnings or losses attributable to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately in the consolidated income statements.

In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, holders of noncontrolling interests are considered to be equity holders in the consolidated company, pursuant to which noncontrolling interests are classified as part of equity, unless the noncontrolling interests are redeemable. Certain redemptive features associated with the noncontrolling interests for The University of Kansas Health System – St. Francis Campus (“St. Francis”) could require the Company to deliver cash if the redemptive features are exercised. These redemptive features could be exercised upon, among other things, the Company’s exclusion or suspension from participation in any federal or state government healthcare payor program. Therefore, the noncontrolling interests balance for St. Francis is classified outside the permanent equity section of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The redeemable noncontrolling interests related to St. Francis at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 have not been subsequently measured at fair value since the acquisition date. The noncontrolling interests are not currently redeemable and it is not probable that the noncontrolling interests will become redeemable as the possibility of the Company being excluded or suspended from participation in any federal or state government healthcare payor program is remote.

Earnings Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares, such as stock options and unvested restricted stock units, were exercised and converted into shares. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and were dilutive.

Segment Reporting

The Company has one reportable segment: healthcare services. The healthcare services segment provides healthcare services primarily through its ownership and operation of hospitals, certain of which provide related healthcare services through physician practices, outpatient centers, and post-acute facilities. The CODM is its President and Chief Executive Officer, who regularly reviews financial operating results on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s CODM manages the operations on a consolidated basis to make decisions about overall company resource allocation and to assess overall company performance.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all of the Company’s long-lived assets were located in the United States, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, all revenue was earned in the United States.
