od ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the comparable period of the prior year. At these facilities, net revenue per adjusted patient day increased 4.2% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the comparable prior year period. On a same facility basis, the operating margin at our behavioral health facilities increased to 25.7% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 24.4% during the comparable period of the prior year.

2009 Full Year Guidance Increased to $4.40 to $4.55 Per Diluted Share:

Based upon the operating trends and financial results experienced during the first six months of 2009, and subject to certain assumptions, provisions and adjustments, including those as set forth below in General Information, Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors and Non-GAAP Financial Measures, we are increasing our estimated range of earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $4.40 to $4.55 from the previously provided range of $4.00 to $4.15. This revised guidance range excludes the net favorable impact of $.20 per diluted share resulting from the above-mentioned items that were included in our results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 (consisting of the favorable impact resulting from the reduction to our professional and general liability self-insurance reserves and the unfavorable impact resulting from the discrete tax item).

Recent Acquisition:

On June 30, 2009, we completed the acquisition of Centennial Peaks Hospital, a 72-bed behavioral health facility located in Louisville, Colorado. Centennial Peaks will provide services to adolescent and adult patients and will compliment our existing services in the high growth Denver-Boulder corridor.
