The street takes a (positive) second look.
What a difference a year makes. Last fall, investor-owned hospital chains could hardly find a welcome mat anywhere on Wall Street.

This year, with profits up sharply and stock prices rebounding, analysts and investors seem ready to roll out the red carpet for these same companies.
