“We’re excited about the growth of ACA,” said HCA assistant director Jeff Smith, “and this is our strongest ACA sale as measured by dollar volume sold. We’ve been striving for a higher grade of material in these sales, and it’s obviously paying off in increased bidder visits and higher hammer prices.”
