Chief Operating Officer - Justin Oppenheimer Operator: Greetings, welcome to Surgery Partners Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note, this conference is being recorded. I will now turn the conference over to Dave Doherty, Chief Financial Officer. David Doherty: Good morning, and thank you for joining Surgery Partners' Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call.
I'm joined today by Eric Evans, our Chief Executive Officer; and Justin Oppenheimer, our Chief Operating Officer. During this call, we will make forward-looking statements. There are risk factors that could cause future results to be materially different from these statements as described in this morning's press release and in the reports we file with the SEC.
The company does not undertake any duty to update these forward-looking statements. In addition, we will reference certain non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe can be useful in evaluating our performance. We have reconciled these measures to the applicable GAAP measures in this morning's press release and in the supplemental materials posted to our Investor Relations website.
With that, I will turn the call over to Eric Evans. Evans: Thank you, Dave, and good morning, everyone. Before discussing our quarterly results, I want to address a significant portfolio optimization milestone we announced last month.
As we noted, we have signed definitive agreements in escrow for the sale of our interest in the Idaho Falls market, Mountain View Hospital and Idaho Falls Community Hospital to our partner, Intermountain Health. We have had a successful and long-standing partnership with Intermountain, not only in Idaho, but also in 15 ASCs across Utah and Montana that remain in our portfolio. The Idaho Falls facilities have built an exceptional reputation as preferred providers and leaders in delivering high-quality, affordable care for the Idaho Falls region.
At the same time, they have evolved in ways that today extend well beyond our core short-stay surgical focus to include more traditional acute care services such as obstetrics, neonatology, pediatrics and other nonsurgical service lines. We are confident these facilities will continue to grow and serve the health care needs of this community with the strength of Intermountain's partnership. This pending transaction is the most impactful part of our strategic review process to date and represents the vast majority of planned portfolio optimization.
