Frequent divestitures to streamline its core operations have helped it lower its debt burden. Over the years, acquisitions have played a key role in building Community Health’s growth trajectory. Its declining debt level also impresses. However, the company’s have declined comparing unfavorably with its industry’s growth, in a year’s time.
