Direction?

I'm interviewing at UHS, and yes, I know things are a mess. I've heard several people say that UHS needs to figure out who they want to be, that they've gotten away from their core business, and that they've been getting crushed by Hill-Rom and KCI for too long. What business segment should UHS focus on? What should they get away from?
 






To be honest UHS has been relying on a consultant firm (Mckenzie) to point it in the right direction and focus. The UHS board has brought on a new CEO Tom Leonard in the last 60 days after Mckenzie already started its survey.

On July 27-30 the sales and operations leadership will be meeting to discuss next strategy steps. A great deal of e UHS Leadership is banking on some plan of direction even with the understanding that there could or will be a large restructure after the meeting.

The companies core business has been peak need rental equipment. With the ever evolving healthcare market to purchase it will be interesting to see where this new CEO and its consultant recommend moving forward.

A very uneasy time at UHS and for the people who work at UHS.

Many in Health Care feel UHS could easily be broken up and sold off in market segments.

One of UHS and its greatest problem is it is heavily ridden in debt. Modest companies do not want to buy the debt along with the particular market segment.

More to come..
