Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to Community Health Systems Second Quarter 2022 Earnings Call. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded.
I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker for today, Mr. Ross Comeaux, Vice President of Investors Relations.
Ross Comeaux
Thank you, Matt. Good morning, and welcome to Community Health Systems' Second Quarter 2022 Conference Call. Joining me today are Tim Hingtgen, Chief Executive Officer; Kevin Hammons, President and Chief Financial Officer and Dr. Lynn Simon, President of Clinical Operations and Chief Medical Officer.
Before I turn the call over to Tim, I'd like to remind everyone that this conference call may contain certain forward-looking statements, including all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, which are described in headings such as risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a consequence, actual results may differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statements in today's discussion. We do not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements.
Yesterday afternoon, we issued a press release with our financial statements and definitions and calculations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS. For those of you listening to the live broadcast of this conference call, a supplemental slide presentation has been posted to our website. We will refer to those slides during this earnings call. Also, all calculations we will discuss also exclude loss or gain from early extinguishment of debt and impairment expense as well as gains or losses on the sale of businesses.
With that said, I'd like to now turn the call over to Tim Hingtgen, Chief Executive Officer.
Tim Hingtgen
Great. Thank you, Ross. Good morning everyone, and welcome to our second quarter conference call. The second quarter was challenging in many regards, as we navigated through a particularly complex operating environment, but simply stated, we did not achieve the results we had expected.
