Note 8 ― Goodwill, Other Intangibles, and Property and Equipment

Goodwill primarily relates to the Health Care segment ($2.9 billion) and, to a lesser extent, the International segment ($290 million) and increased by $45 million during 2011 primarily as a result of the acquisition of FirstAssist. The fair values of the Company's Health Care segment and International's reporting unit are substantially in excess of their carrying values therefore the risk for future impairment is unlikely.

Other intangible assets were comprised of the following at December 31:


							Weighted Average
