  • For Immediate Release Thursday, Sept. 25, 2003 Grassley
    For Immediate Release Thursday, Sept. 25, 2003 Grassley Expresses Concern Over Tenet’s Commitment to Meaningful Reforms WASHINGTON – Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Committee on Finance, today expressed concern that the Tenet Healthcare Corporation may not be conducting the reforms necessary to ensure taxpayers and Medicare beneficiaries of the proper use of tax dollars and the appropriate treatment of Medicare beneficiaries in the future. Grassley sent a detailed letter to Tenet’s new chairman of the board outlining a series of management changes that do not appear to substantially affect the structure that led to hundreds of lawsuits and numerous investigations into alleged patient deaths and complications due to unnecessary angioplasties, coronary bypasses, and heart catheterizations at Tenet’s Redding Medical Center, as well as the billing of Medicare for apparently unnecessary services. Earlier this month, Grassley sent a detailed document request to the company seeking information about these allegations and its use of federal health care dollars. Referring to the company’s statement that “until we have made good on these promises, these are only words,” Grassley said, “I couldn’t agree more with that characterization.” The text of today’s letter follows. September 26, 2003 VIA FACSIMILE: (805) 563-7070 ORIGINAL BY U.S. MAIL Mr. Edward A. Kangas Chairman Tenet Healthcare Corporation 3820 State Street Santa Barbara, CA 93105 Dear Mr. Kangas: By letter dated, September 5, 2003, the Senate Finance Committee (Committee) advised Mr. Trevor Fetter, then Acting Chief Executive Officer and President, Tenet Healthcare Corporation (Tenet), that the Committee is investigating Tenet’s corporate governance practices with respect to federal healthcare programs.

  • Tenet Healthcare Corporation Notice of Annual Meeting & Proxy Statement
    Tenet Healthcare Corporation 2018 Notice of Annual Meeting & Proxy Statement MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Dear Fellow Shareholders: 2017 was a year of significant transition for Tenet. During the year, we continued to focus on providing high-quality care to patients, innovating to meet the demands of today’s healthcare market, and driving operational and financial performance to maximize shareholder value. At the same time, it became necessary to make a number of changes, including at the senior management level, to transform and move the Company forward. I was appointed Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in the fall and, since that time, we have taken swift and decisive actions: • Implemented enterprise-wide cost reduction initiatives expected to realize $125 million in cost savings in 2018 and $250 million of annualized run-rate cost savings by the end of 2018; • Initiated a process to explore a sale of Conifer Health Solutions;and • Announced plans to divest non-core hospital assets that are expected to yield over $1 billion of proceeds. At the same time, we made significant changes from a Board and governance standpoint. We have a strong history of regularly engaging with our shareholders to solicit feedback and take action in response. Based on feedback received from shareholders over the past several months, the Board: • Implemented a special meeting right for shareholders collectively owning 25% of our outstanding shares; • Continued its ongoing process of Board refreshment, which included the appointment of three independent directors in 2017; and • Terminated our short-term NOL rights plan ahead of its scheduled expiration at our 2018 annual meeting.
