Thank you. Good morning and welcome to this review of Universal Health Services Results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. During the conference call, I'll be using words such as believes, expects, anticipates, estimates and similar words that represent forecasts, projections and forward-looking statements. For anyone not familiar with the risks and uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, I recommend a careful reading of the section on Risk Factors and forward-looking statements and risk factors in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

I'd like to highlight just a couple of developments and business trends before opening the call up to questions. As discussed in our press release last night, the company recorded net income attributable to UHS per diluted share of $3.80
