Dr. Frist has said Columbia will now curtail its current extensive marketing campaign, end the controversial physician partnership arrangements fostered by Scott and acquiring community hospitals where there is strong community resistance. Further executive changes are also expected.

Frist's father Thomas Frist founded the HCA-Hospital corporation which merged with Scott's Columbia in 1994. His younger brother Republican Bill Frist is U.S. Senator from Tennessee. Sen. Frisk, who sits on the Senate Republican healthcare policy committee, held $13.9 million in Columbia stock in 1995.
