Glenview takes HMA to the Web

Like many hedge funds, Glenview Capital Management prefers to stay out of the spotlight when it comes to managing its investments.

But the New York-based fund that manages $6 billion is making a big splash while seeking to replace the board of directors of Health Management Associates, the Naples-based operator of 71 hospitals. It has created a special website to make its case: RevitalizeHMA.com.

It was only in June that Glenview says it sought to work behind the scenes to urge management changes at HMA. Glenview owns 14.6% of HMA's publicly traded stock.
