Humana CEO David Jones is convinced that the for-profit corporation can turn around troubled Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center in Chicago. Not in years, Jones says, but in a matter of months. Despite Reese's problems, stemming from an unfavorable patient mix, high overhead and aging physical plant, Jones is convinced he can turn the hospital around by late 1992. "I know Chicago, and I've wanted to get into Chicago in a big way for a long time," Jones says. "I believe it's going to be a great challenge to us. But I feel it's a fantastic opportunity for Humana."
哈门那公司首席执行官大卫·琼斯坚信，这家营利性公司能够扭转芝加哥陷入困境的迈克尔·里斯医院及医疗中心的局面。琼斯表示，不是数年时间，而是只需几个月。尽管里斯医院存在诸多问题，包括患者结构不理想、间接费用高昂以及医疗设施老化等，但琼斯坚信自己能够在1992年底前让医院实现好转。“我了解芝加哥，长期以来我一直渴望大规模进军芝加哥市场，”琼斯说，“我认为这对我们来说将是巨大的挑战。但我觉得这对哈门那公司而言是绝佳的机遇。”
