Ardent Health ARDT · USD

Ardent is a provider of healthcare services in the United States, operating in eight growing mid-sized urban markets across six states: Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, New Jersey, Idaho, and Kansas. We deliver care through a system of 30 acute care hospitals, more than 280 sites of care, and over 2,000 providers that are either employed by or affiliated1 with us, as of December 31, 2025. We hold a leading position in a majority of our markets2 and believe we are one of the leading healthcare systems based on market share and given our integrated network of hospitals, ambulatory facilities, and physician practices. We operate either independently or in partnership with premier academic medical centers, large not-for-profit hospital systems, community physicians, and a community foundation through our well-established and differentiated joint venture (“JV”) model. Collectively, we operate as a unified organization with a consumer-centric approach to caring for our patients and our communities.

Our healthcare delivery model is built around the consumer and seeks to optimize access for patients and continuity of care. We have built a comprehensive healthcare ecosystem that serves the unique needs of each patient over the course of his or her healthcare journey while our local physicians and providers deliver care based on the standard for their own market. We focus on establishing long-term relationships to engage with patients over their lifetime and seek to deliver superior, cost-effective health outcomes.
