Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Arkansas (the “State”) counsel to the entities listed on Schedule I attached (collectively, the “State Subsidiary Guarantors”), each organized and existing under the laws of the State, in connection with the State Subsidiary Guarantors’ guarantee of $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (collectively, the “Notes”) to be issued by CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”). The Notes are being issued under an Indenture, dated March 16, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between the Company and Regions Bank, an Alabama banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented and amended by a First Supplemental Indenture dated March 16, 2017 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), as supplemented and amended by a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 12, 2017 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, Community Health Systems, Inc. (“Parent”), the other guarantors party thereto and the Trustee. The Notes are being guaranteed by the State Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the guarantee included in the Indenture (the “Guarantee”).

This opinion letter is being provided to you at the request of the State Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). As used herein, “State Law” means the laws of the State that an Arkansas lawyer exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably be expected to recognize as being directly applicable to the State Subsidiary Guarantors; provided that “State Law” does not include any statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, order or other promulgation of any regional or local governmental body or as to any related judicial or administrative decision. We have not examined, and we do not opine, as to the law of any other jurisdiction, whether applicable directly or through State Law. We are not rendering any opinion as to the effect or applicability of any statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, decree or decisional
