Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Eric Volkman]

  Health Management Associates (NYSE: HMA  ) is returning to its roots, in a way. True to its name, the company has carved out a new division to provide what it terms "managerial and operational support offerings" to facilities not currently on its client list.

• [By Sean Williams]

  What: Shares of Health Management Associates (NYSE: HMA  ) , an acute-care hospital and health care facility operator in the U.S., jumped as much as 11% after a hedge fund noted interest in raising its stake in the company and following two analyst upgrades.

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  In Community Health's report, watch for signs of the same pressures that Health Management Associates (! NYSE: HMA  ) reported in cutting its 2013 outlook earlier this month. HMA pointed to weak inpatient services demand, and if that trend holds across the industry, it could pose another obstacle for Community Health to overcome in trying to grow earnings.
