2/8/2015

To whom it may concern,

Mr. Bill Burks has been employed in a contract position with the Deloitte Services ITS

PMO as a project manager since May 26, 2014. During this time, Bill engaged and

helped to deliver one of the largest projects in Deloitte ITS history. Bill has showed a

tireless work ethic along with strong people and project management skills. While

working on this large effort, Bill has also been successful in engaging in and delivering

other projects of various sizes and with different project teams.

Not only has Bill been a valuable member of the Deloitte ITS PMO, but Bill has also

been able to establish and grow relationships with his project teams and resources outside

of the PMO. His ability to work with others has been key in his success and the

delivery of all of the efforts he has been asked to lead.

I would recommend hiring Bill in a project manager position. Please feel free to call me

directly if you would like to discuss.

Sincerely,

Brian Grundy

Sr. Manager

Deloitte Services, ITS PMO

To whom it may concern:

It has been my pleasure to manage and work closely with Bill Burks here at Community Health Systems. Bill is a tremendous resource for any project initiatives. His ability to adapt and to take on any tasks has been instrumental achieving great success with our ICD-10 initiative to date.

Bill has forged relationships with several business partners, vendors, facility resources, and other key stakeholders throughout the initiative. These relationships were critical for ensuring the project deliverables were met on or ahead of schedule and within budget. His communication skills have been invaluable in strengthening the team chemistry and escalating concerns to mitigate risks and avoid delays.

I recommend Bill Burks for employment without hesitation. It is unfortunate that were unable to retain his services due to an untimely reduction of our corporate capital projects. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again. You will find him to be a sterling addition to your workforce.

Should you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Respectfully,

Scott Johnson
