SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and does not contain all of the
information you should consider before investing in the notes. You should read carefully this entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by
reference. Please read "Risk Factors," beginning on page 15 of this prospectus for more information about important risks that you should consider
before making an investment decision in the notes. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, LifePoint Health, 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. At March 31,
2017, on a consolidated basis, we operated 72 hospital campuses in 22 states throughout the United States, having a total of 9,417 licensed beds. We
generate revenues by providing a broad range of general and specialized healthcare services to patients through a network of hospitals and outpatient
facilities. We generated revenues of $1,630.2 million and $1,580.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of
which 54.3% and 52.7%, respectively, were derived from the collective Medicare and Medicaid programs. 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, a number 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.

Industry Overview
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1044942/000104746917003251/a2232075z424b3.htm[5/9/2017 10:38:26 AM]


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
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
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 nonclinical 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 nonclinical business functions.

The Exchange Offer
The summary below describes the principal terms of the exchange offer. See also the section of this prospectus titled "The Exchange Offer, "which
contains a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer.
On May 26, 2016, we sold, through a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, $500,000,000 of our
5.375% Senior Notes due 2024. We refer to these notes as "outstanding notes" in this prospectus.
Simultaneously with the private placement of the outstanding notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement, dated May 26, 2016 (the
"Registration Rights Agreement"), with the initial purchasers of the outstanding notes. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we are required to
file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") enabling the holders of the outstanding notes to exchange their
outstanding notes for exchange notes with identical terms, and to use our commercially reasonable efforts to complete the exchange offer pursuant to
the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. You may exchange your outstanding notes for exchange notes in this exchange offer. You should read
the discussion under the headings "--Summary of Exchange Offer ," "The Exchange Offer" and "Description of the Exchange Notes" for further
information regarding the exchange notes.
We did not register the outstanding notes under the Securities Act or any state securities law, nor do we intend to after the exchange offer. As a
result, the outstanding notes may only be transferred in limited circumstances under the securities laws. If the holders of the outstanding notes do not
exchange their outstanding notes in the exchange offer, they lose their right to have the outstanding notes registered under the Securities Act, subject to
certain limitations. Anyone who still holds outstanding notes after the exchange offer may be unable to resell their outstanding notes.
General
You are entitled to exchange in the exchange offer your outstanding notes for
exchange notes, which are identical in all material respects to the outstanding
notes except:

· the exchange notes will have been registered under the Securities Act;

· the exchange notes are not entitled to any registration rights that are
applicable to the outstanding notes under the Registration Rights
Agreement; and

· the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement that provide for
payment of special interest upon a registration default are no longer
applicable.

Securities Offered
$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2024.

The Exchange Offer
We are offering to exchange up to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of our 5.375% Senior Notes due 2024 and the related guarantees, which have
been registered under the Securities Act, for any and all of our outstanding
5.375% Senior Notes due 2024 and the related guarantees.

Table of Contents
Outstanding notes may be exchanged only in denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof; provided that the untendered portion of any outstanding note must be in a
minimum denomination of $2,000.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, we will exchange the exchange notes for all
outstanding notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the
exchange offer. We will cause the exchange to be effected promptly after the expiration of the exchange
offer.

Resale
Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we
believe that the exchange notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for outstanding notes
may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you (unless you are our "affiliate" within
the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and
prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that:

· you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business; and

· you have not engaged in, do not intend to engage in, and have no arrangement or understanding with
any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes.

If you are a broker-dealer and receive exchange notes for your own account in exchange for outstanding
notes that you acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you must
acknowledge that you will deliver this prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes.
See "Plan of Distribution."

Expiration
The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 6, 2017, unless extended by us.
Date
We do not currently intend to extend the expiration date.

Withdrawal
You may withdraw any tender of your outstanding notes at any time prior to the expiration of the

for exchange, without expense to you, promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

payment date after the expiration date of the exchange offer, which will be November 1, 2017.

$2,171.7 million, or 34.2%, of our total assets and $462.8 million, or 11.8%,
of our total liabilities (excluding intercompany liabilities) as of March 31,
