Good morning. My name is Mike and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Community Health Systems 2018 Q2 quarterly conference call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session.
