Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure

     Province Healthcare Company completed the sale of Glades General Hospital in Belle Glade, Florida to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Health Care District of Palm Beach County (the “District”), effective April 30, 2004. The District reacquired the operating assets of the hospital for a purchase price of approximately $1.4 million in cash at closing, net of assumed and contractual obligations. Under the purchase agreement, Province retained the hospital’s accounts receivable, income tax receivable and deferred income taxes, from which the company anticipates collecting approximately $4.6 million, $1.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively. Province announced in January 2004 that it had signed a letter of intent for the District to reacquire the hospital, which Province purchased from the District in 1999.
