              PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

    On January 3, 2003, but effective January 1, 2003, Vanguard Health Systems,
Inc. ("the Company"), through its subsidiary VHS San Antonio Partners, L.P.,
acquired substantially all of the assets of five acute care hospitals and
related health care businesses located in San Antonio, Texas and surrounding
areas of south Texas from Baptist Health System ("BHS"), a Texas not-for-profit
corporation. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 2002, gives effect to the acquisition of BHS by the
Company as if the transaction had been completed as of December 31, 2002. The
following unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six
months ended December 31, 2002, and for the year ended June 30, 2002, give
effect to the acquisition of BHS by the Company as if the transaction had been
completed July 1, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
presented herein do not intend to represent what the Company's financial
position or results of operations would have been had such transaction occurred
at the beginning of the periods presented or to project the Company's results of
operations in any future period. The pro forma results of operations, which do
not consider certain operational changes instituted by the Company upon the
acquisition of BHS, do not necessarily indicate the results of BHS' operations
while under the Company's ownership. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, its unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2002, and the
audited consolidated financial statements of BHS, included elsewhere in this
Current Report on Form 8-K/A. Certain reclassifications have been made to BHS'
historical financial statements to conform to the Company's presentation.

         Company's investment.

The pro forma balance sheet adjustments presented above are based upon the
Company's initial purchase price allocation utilizing the best information
available at the time of this filing. The purchase price allocation is
preliminary in nature and could change as a result of adjustments to working
capital acquired, adjustments to estimates of the fair value of assets acquired
or other adjustments that may be required as better information is obtained.
Management believes that future adjustments to the purchase price allocation
would not have a material impact on the pro forma consolidated balance sheet
presented herein.

           $150.0 million credit facility term loan proceeds at 5.65%
              floating interest rate                                                      $  4,237,500

         Each 1/8% change in the floating interest rate applicable to the
         $150.0 million credit facility term loan debt would result in a
         pre-tax increase or decrease to interest expense of approximately
         $94,000 during the six-month period.

h)       To record income taxes associated with the conversion of the hospital
         to a for-profit taxable entity to reflect a pro forma consolidated
         income tax benefit of $927,000 during the period, a combined federal
         and state rate of 33.9%.

The pro forma adjustments presented above are subject to change given
adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. Management believes
that any such changes would not have a material impact on the pro forma
consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2002.
