Re: LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. Exchange of 5.5% Senior Notes due 2021

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. (“LifePoint”) in connection with the exchange (the “Exchange”) of certain 5.5% Senior Notes due 2021, issued pursuant to an indenture, dated December 6, 2013 (the “Indenture”), for new 5.5% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”), which will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933. This opinion is being delivered at the request of LifePoint regarding one of the Guarantors of those Notes, PHC-Fort Morgan, Inc. (“PHCFM”), which is a Colorado corporation.

Specifically, LifePoint has asked us to provide an opinion concerning (i) whether PHCFM is a validly existing corporation under the laws of the State of Colorado, (ii) whether PHCFM has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver and to perform its obligations under the Notes and to guarantee obligations under the Notes, and (iii) whether PHCFM has taken all of the necessary corporate action to duly authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Notes and to guarantee the guaranteed obligations under the Notes. That opinion follows.
