1. Basis of Presentation

The Parent is a holding company and operates no business in its own name; all of the Company’s business operations are conducted through subsidiaries of the Parent. The Company’s outstanding indebtedness restricts the ability of subsidiaries to dividend or otherwise provide funds to the Parent. Accordingly, these financial statements have been presented on a “parent-only” basis. Under parent-only presentation, the Parent’s investments in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting. These parent-only financial statements should be read in conjunction with consolidated financial statements of Community Health Systems, Inc.
