Business Wire, April 14, 2009

Proven Strategies Combine with Shared Commitment

Sam Lee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Prospect, and Chairman of Brotman commented, “The story of Brotman’s turnaround is, we believe, a noteworthy success that can be shared by our physicians and a variety of committed stakeholders. Prospect’s new management team, Brotman’s medical, administrative and other staff, and many others worked together to reshape and refine Brotman’s operations over the past 18 months, while putting the facility on a path to optimize its vast potential. We instituted many of the same principles that have substantially improved the operations of our other businesses. For nearly 18 months, Brotman is now consistently operating profitably for the first time in several years and we expect this to continue to improve. Hospital census data, as well as many other key operating metrics, rose steadily during the reorganization process and continue to improve, although there is still much work to be done.”

Stan Otake, Chief Executive Officer of Brotman, stated, “This is more than a financial success story. The importance of access to quality health care on a community’s ability to grow and prosper cannot be understated. For more than 85 years, Brotman has served as a vital institutional anchor to the dynamic and evolving West Los Angeles community. I want to thank the Governing Board of Brotman, our physicians, nurses, administrators and staff for their tireless efforts and dedication to the cause. I would also like to thank JHA and Gemino for their financial commitment and support of our vision. During a time when community hospitals are rapidly disappearing, Brotman’s survival and positive outlook are sources of much pride for all of us.”

Additional Financial Information

Effective April 14, 2009, Prospect began consolidating Brotman into its financial statements and expects to publish standalone Brotman audited and unaudited financial statements and pro forma financial information by no later than June 30, 2009.
