Tenet Healthcare Corporation is a for-profit multinational healthcare services company based in Dallas, Texas, United States. Through its brands, subsidiaries, joint ventures, and partnerships,[7] including United Surgical Partners International (USPI),[8] the company operates 65 hospitals and over 450 healthcare facilities.[9] Tenet also operates Conifer Health Solutions, which provides healthcare support services to health systems and other clients.

Since its founding in 1969,[10] Tenet has expanded significantly. Among other major acquisitions and formations, Tenet founded Conifer Health Solutions in 2008,[11] MedPost Urgent Care in 2014,[12] and in 2013 acquired Vanguard Health Systems, Inc., an investor-owned hospital company whose operations complemented Tenet's existing business.[13] The acquisition created the third-largest investor-owned hospital company in the United States in terms of revenue and the third-largest in number of hospitals owned.[14] In 2015, Tenet acquired USPI, which created the largest operator of outpatient surgery centers in the United States.[8] In 2021, the company ranked 167th in the Fortune 500.[2]

The company has settled a number of multimillion dollar settlements related to defrauding Medicare, Medicaid, and patients, which includes admitting psychiatric patients who did not need hospitalization and then charging these patients inflated prices.
