US-based hospital company Community Health Systems’ subsidiaries have signed a definitive agreement for the sale of Lake Norman Regional Medical Center, Davis Regional Medical Center and the associated assets in North Carolina for nearly $320m.

The subsidiaries of Novant Health will acquire these two hospitals.

The assets include physician clinic operations and outpatient facilities.

Lake Norman Regional Medical Center is a 123-bed acute care hospital in Mooresville.

Davis Regional Medical Center in Statesville is transforming into an inpatient behavioural health hospital, which was previously a general acute care hospital.

The acquisition is subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions and is expected to close later this year.
