PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To Prospectus Dated February 27, 2015)
$500,000,000
LifePoint Health, Inc.
5.875% Senior Notes due 2023
LifePoint Health, Inc. is offering $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2023 (the "notes"). The notes will bear
interest at the rate of 5.875% per year. Interest on the notes is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2016. The notes
will mature on December 1, 2023.
We may redeem all or a portion of the notes at any time prior to December 1, 2018 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes
redeemed plus an applicable "make-whole" premium as described in this prospectus supplement, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
redemption date. At any time on or after December 1, 2018, we may redeem all or a portion of the notes at the redemption prices set forth in this
prospectus supplement plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, before December 1, 2018, we may redeem up to
35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued under the indenture with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price
set forth in this prospectus supplement, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. If we experience specific kinds of changes in
control, we must offer to purchase the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
date of purchase.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the financing of possible
acquisitions and repurchases of our outstanding common stock from time to time.
The notes will be our unsecured senior obligations and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured senior indebtedness. Our obligations under
the notes will be guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured senior basis by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The notes
and the note guarantees will rank equal in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors' existing and future senior indebtedness. The notes and the
guarantees will rank senior in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors' existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The notes and the
guarantees will be effectively subordinated to our and the guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets
securing such indebtedness, including our senior secured credit facilities, and will be structurally subordinated to all obligations of any of our
subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus and does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in the notes. You should read carefully this
entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein. Please read "Risk
Factors," beginning on page S-11 of this prospectus supplement for more information about important risks that you should consider before buying the
notes. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, LifePoint Health, Inc. (formerly LifePoint Hospitals, Inc.) and its subsidiaries are
referred to herein as "LifePoint," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us."
Our Company
We own and operate community hospitals, regional health systems, physician practices, outpatient centers, and post-acute facilities in 21 states
throughout the United States. At September 30, 2015, on a consolidated basis, we operated 67 hospital campuses, having a total of 8,253 licensed beds.
We generate revenues primarily through patient services offered at our facilities. We generated revenues of $1,309.5 million and $1,166.0 million
during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $3,843.6 million and $3,220.2 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, we derived 46.4% and 44.9% of
our revenues, collectively, from the Medicare and Medicaid programs and 45.8% and 45.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and
2014, respectively. Payments made to our facilities pursuant to the Medicare and Medicaid programs for services rendered rarely exceed our costs for
such services. As a result, we rely largely on payments made by private or commercial payors, together with certain limited services provided to
Medicare recipients, to generate an operating profit. The healthcare industry continues to endure a period where the costs of providing care are rising
faster than reimbursement rates from government or private commercial payors. This places a premium on efficient operation, the ability to reduce or
control costs and the need to leverage the benefits of our organization across all of our facilities.
Our hospitals typically provide the range of medical and surgical services commonly available in hospitals in non-urban markets. These services
include general surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics, emergency room care, radiology, oncology, diagnostic care, coronary care, rehabilitation services,
pediatric services, and, in some of our hospitals, specialized services such as open-heart surgery, skilled nursing, psychiatric care and neuro-surgery. In
many markets, we also provide outpatient services such as same-day surgery, laboratory, x-ray, respiratory therapy, imaging, sports medicine and
lithotripsy. The services provided at any specific hospital depend on factors such as community need for the service, whether physicians necessary to
operate the service line safely are members of the medical staff of that hospital, whether the service might be supported by community residents, and
any contractual or certificate of need restrictions that exist. Like most hospitals located in non-urban markets, our hospitals do not engage in extensive
medical research and medical education programs. However, eight of our hospitals have affiliations with medical schools, including the clinical rotation
of medical and pharmacy students, and two of our hospitals own and operate schools of nursing and other allied health professions.
We seek to fulfill our mission of Making Communities Healthier® by striving to (1) improve the quality and types of healthcare services available
in our communities; (2) provide physicians with a positive environment in which to practice medicine, with access to necessary equipment and
resources; (3) develop and provide a positive work environment for employees; (4) expand each hospital's role as a community asset; and (5) improve
each hospital's financial performance. We expect our hospitals to be the place where patients choose to come for care, where physicians want to
practice medicine and where employees want to work.
S-1
Table of Contents
Industry Overview
We believe that non-urban communities present opportunities for us because of the following factors:
·
Less Competition than Urban Markets. Because non-urban communities have smaller populations, they generally have fewer hospitals
and other healthcare service providers. Because non-urban hospitals are generally the sole providers of inpatient services in their
markets, there is limited competition. However, we are experiencing an increase in competition from other specialized care providers,
including outpatient surgery, oncology, physical therapy and diagnostic centers, as well as competing services rendered in physician
offices.
·
Community Focus. We believe that the local hospital generally is viewed as an integral part of the community. In addition, we believe
that non-urban communities can have a higher level of patient and physician loyalty that fosters cooperative relationships among the
local hospitals, physicians, employees, patients and local government authorities.
·
Acquisition Opportunities. Currently, not-for-profit and governmental entities own most non-urban hospitals. These entities often have
limited access to the capital needed to keep pace with advances in medical technology. In addition, these entities sometimes lack the
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1044942/000104746915008879/a2226698z424b5.htm[11/23/2015 9:00:46 AM]

resources to leverage their professional staff in the manner necessary to control hospital expenses, recruit and retain physicians, expand
healthcare services and comply with increasingly complex reimbursement and managed care requirements. As a result, patients may
migrate, be referred by local physicians, or be encouraged by managed care plans to travel to hospitals in larger, urban markets. We
believe that, as a result of these pressures, many not-for-profit and governmental owners of non-urban hospitals who wish to maximize
the value of their community assets and preserve the local availability of quality healthcare services are interested in selling or leasing
these hospitals to a company like ours, that is committed to the local delivery of healthcare and that has greater access to capital and
management resources.
Business Strategy
In order to achieve growth in patient volumes, revenues and profitability given the competitive and structural environment, we continue to focus
our business strategy on the following:
·
Measurement and improvement of quality of patient care and perceptions of such quality in communities where our hospitals are located;
·
Targeted recruiting of primary care physicians and physicians in key specialties;
·
Retention of physicians and efforts to improve physician satisfaction, including employing a greater number of primary care physicians
as well as physicians in certain specialties;
·
Retention and, where needed, recruitment of non-physician employees involved in patient care and efforts to improve employee
satisfaction;
·
Targeted investments in new technologies, new service lines and capital improvements at our facilities;
·
Improvements in management of expenses and revenue cycle;
·
Negotiation of improved reimbursement rates with non-governmental payors;
·
Strategic growth through acquisition and integration of hospitals and other healthcare facilities where valuations are attractive and we
can identify opportunities for improved financial performance through our management or ownership; and
S-2
Table of Contents
·
Developing strategic partnerships with not-for-profit healthcare providers to achieve growth in new regions.
As part of our ongoing efforts to further manage costs and improve the results of our revenue cycle, we have partnered with a third party to provide
certain non-clinical business functions, including payroll processing, supply chain management and revenue cycle functions. We believe this model of
sharing centralized resources to support common business functions across multi-facility enterprises provides us efficiencies and is the most cost
effective approach to managing these non-clinical business functions.
Recent Developments
Consistent with our acquisition strategy, through Duke LifePoint Healthcare, we have executed an agreement to acquire Central Carolina Hospital
in Sanford, North Carolina and Frye Regional Medical Center in Hickory, North Carolina. We currently expect to close this acquisition between late in
the fourth quarter of 2015 to middle of the first quarter of 2016; however, this acquisition is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and other
customary closing conditions and may not be consummated timely or at all. In addition, we have submitted to the Office of the Attorney General of
Georgia an agreement in principle to acquire St. Francis Hospital in Columbus, Georgia, and a letter of intent to acquire Providence Hospitals,
comprised of two hospitals in Columbia, South Carolina. We currently expect to close these acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2015 or in the first
quarter of 2016; however, they are subject to execution of definitive documentation, receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing
conditions and may not be consummated timely or at all. We currently anticipate that the purchase prices for these three pending acquisitions will
aggregate to approximately $650 million.

system. Although the underwriters have informed us that they intend to make
a market in the notes, they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue
market-making at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure
you that a liquid market for the notes will develop or be maintained.
Use of Proceeds
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate
purposes, including the financing of possible acquisitions and repurchases of
our outstanding common stock from time to time. See "Use of Proceeds."
Risk Factors
See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-11 of this prospectus supplement and
other information included in or incorporated by reference into this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus for important
information regarding us and an investment in the notes.
