PLANO, Tex., May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- LifeCare Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") today announced its operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.
Net Revenues
Our net patient service revenue increased by $6.2 million, or 7.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, to $95.0 million from $88.8 million for the comparable period in 2008.
