(“HMA”) which acquisition was completed on such date. The Notes are guaranteed by the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the registration rights agreements entered into by the Company in connection with such offering, the Company and its relevant subsidiaries will be filing a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “S-4 Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about September 17, 2014 with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes and related guarantees for registered notes and guarantees with substantially identical terms.

This Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) includes certain financial information and updated disclosures with respect to the Company as set forth below so that, among other purposes, such financial information and updated disclosures will be incorporated by reference into the S-4 Registration Statement.

These hospitals are comprised of one hospital in respect of which the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell and several smaller hospitals in respect of which the Company made the decision to sell during the six months ended June 30, 2014. In connection with management’s decision to sell these facilities, the Company has classified the results of operations of the above mentioned hospitals as discontinued operations during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and has included these hospitals as held for sale on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014. The Company is now retrospectively revising its historical financial statements included in the 2013 10-K to account for these hospitals as being held for sale and included in discontinued operations.

This Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) updates the following items in the 2013 10-K in Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K to reflect retrospectively the changes resulting from these discontinued operations for all periods presented:

• Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data; and

• Part IV, Item 15. Exhibits and Financial Statements Schedule, Exhibit 12 (Computation of Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges) and Schedule II – Valuation and Qualifying Accounts.

Other than as required to reflect the discontinued operations changes described above, this Form 8-K does not modify or update any other disclosures in the items in the 2013 10-K referenced above, and does not provide any update or discussion of any developments, activities, events, trends or risks related to the Company subsequent to the filing of the 2013 10-K. For more recent information regarding the Company, please see the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other reports and information filed or furnished by the Company to the SEC since February 26, 2014.

(b) As noted above, the Company completed the acquisition of HMA on January 27, 2014 (the “HMA Acquisition”), pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger dated as of July 29, 2013, as amended.
