Community Health Systems chairman Wayne Smith said: "We are pleased to expand our services and hospital footprint in South Carolina through this acquisition, and we look forward to working with the hospital’s medical staff and employees as they continue to provide quality care for their community."

Located in Gaffney, the 125-bed hospital was owned by a joint venture of Novant Health and a subsidiary of Health Management Associates (HMA).

"Currently, CHS owns and operates nine acute care hospitals in South Carolina."

In January, CHS acquired HMA. Novant will no longer retain any stake in the hospital, as a result of the transaction.
