Community Health Systems chairman Wayne Smith said: "Over the past 30 years, Community Health Systems has evolved from a collection of smaller hospitals into a much more complex and diversified portfolio of hospitals, outpatient services and healthcare systems across the country.

"The new hospital firm will comprise a diversified portfolio of 38 hospitals with 3,635 licensed beds across 16 states of the US."

"We know how important hospitals are to their communities and recognise that smaller facilities have distinct opportunities and different challenges than those in larger markets, where the majority of our assets are located."
