Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information Disclosure

14.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in two distinct operating segments, represented by hospital operations (which includes its general acute care hospitals and related healthcare entities that provide inpatient and outpatient healthcare services) and home care agency operations (which provide in-home outpatient care). 

Only the hospital operations segment meets the criteria as a separate reportable segment. The financial information for the home care agency segment does not meet the quantitative thresholds for a separate identifiable reportable segment and is combined into the corporate and all other reportable segment.

Substantially all of the assets acquired in the HMA merger are recorded as part of the hospital operations segment. The distribution between reportable segments of the Company’s net operating revenues and income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes is summarized in the following tables (in millions):
