PROSPECTUS
$400,000,000

Offer to Exchange Registered 6.625% Senior Notes due 2020
For All of Outstanding
Unregistered 6.625% Senior Notes due 2020
We are offering to exchange up to $400,000,000 of our new 6.625% Senior Notes due 2020, which are jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured senior
basis by certain of our current and future domestic subsidiaries (the "exchange notes"), which will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), for any and all of our outstanding 6.625% Senior Notes due 2020, which are jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by
certain of our current and future domestic subsidiaries (the "outstanding notes"). We are offering to exchange the exchange notes for the outstanding notes to
satisfy our obligations contained in the registration rights agreement that we entered into when the outstanding notes were sold pursuant to Rule 144A and
Regulation S under the Securities Act. We sometimes refer to the exchange notes and the outstanding notes collectively as the "notes."
The Exchange Offer
· We will exchange all outstanding notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn for an equal principal amount of exchange notes that are freely tradable,
except in limited circumstances described below.
· You may withdraw tenders of outstanding notes at any time prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer.
· The exchange offer expires at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 28, 2011, unless extended. We do not currently intend to extend the expiration date.
· The exchange of the outstanding notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
· We will not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer.
The Exchange Notes
· We are offering exchange notes to satisfy certain obligations under the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the private offering of the
outstanding notes.
· The terms of the exchange notes to be issued in the exchange offer are identical in all material respects to the outstanding notes, except that the exchange notes will be
freely tradable, except in limited circumstances described below.
· We do not plan to list the exchange notes on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system.
All untendered outstanding notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the outstanding notes and in the related indenture. In general, the
outstanding notes may not be offered or sold, unless

registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other
than in connection with the exchange offer, we currently do not anticipate that we will register the outstanding notes under the Securities Act.
See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 13 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider before participating in the exchange offer.
Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with
any resale of such exchange notes as required by applicable securities laws and regulations. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and delivering a
prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.
This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in
exchange for outstanding notes where such outstanding notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. In
addition, all dealers effecting transactions in the exchange notes may be required to deliver a prospectus. We have agreed that, for a period of 90 days after the date of this
prospectus, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with such resale. See "Plan of Distribution."
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these notes or passed upon the adequacy
or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this prospectus is June 1, 2011.

Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements often include
words such as "can," "could," "may," "should," "believe," "will," "would," "expect," "project," "estimate," "seek," "anticipate," "intend," "target," "continue" or similar
expressions. You should not unduly rely on forward-looking statements, which give our expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date they are made. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risk factors emerge from time to time. We cannot predict
such new risk factors nor can we assess the impact, if any, of such new risk factors on our business or to the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement. We do not undertake any obligation to update our forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
There are several factors, including some beyond our control, that could cause results to differ significantly from our expectations. Some of these factors are described in
more detail in the section captioned "Risk Factors." Other factors, such as market, operational, liquidity, interest rate, regulatory and other risks are described elsewhere in
this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Any factor described in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference could by
itself, or together with one or more factors, adversely affect our business, results of operations and/or financial condition. There may be factors not described in this
prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein that could cause results to differ from our expectations.

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 13 of this prospectus for more information about important risks that you should consider before making an investment descision.
Unless the context otherwise requires, LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as "LifePoint," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us."
Our Company
We operate general acute care hospitals in non-urban communities in the United States. At March 31, 2011, we operated 52 hospital campuses in 17 states, having
a total of 5,798 licensed beds. We generate revenue primarily through hospital services offered at our facilities. We generated $3,262.4 million in revenues from
continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $888.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
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. Like most hospitals located in non-
urban markets, our hospitals do not engage in extensive medical research and medical education programs. However, three of our hospitals have an affiliation with
medical schools, including the clinical rotation of medical students, and one of our hospitals owns and operates a school of health professions with a nursing program
and a radiologic technology program.
We derived 42.8% of our revenues from continuing operations from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, collectively for the year ended December 31, 2010 and
42.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Payments made to our hospitals pursuant to the Medicare and Medicaid programs for services rendered rarely
exceed our costs for such services. The hospital industry is also enduring a period where the costs of providing care are rising faster than reimbursement rates. 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.
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 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
