August 15, 2016
I am Senior Vice President and General Counsel of HCA Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Company, HCA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the direct parent of the Company (“Holdings”), and the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedules I and II hereto (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and together with Holdings, the “Guarantors”) have filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-201463), as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to which the Issuer is issuing $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”), each unconditionally guaranteed (collectively, the “Guarantees”) (i) on a senior unsecured basis by Holdings and (ii) jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated August 8, 2016 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the underwriters named therein.
The Registration Statement as it became effective under the Securities Act; the Company’s prospectus, dated January 13, 2015 (the “Base Prospectus”), as supplemented by the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the Notes, dated August 8, 2016 (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), filed by the Company and the Guarantors pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act; the Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, the Parent Guarantor, Law
Debenture Trust Company of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as registrar, paying agent and transfer agent (in each capacity, the “Registrar”), as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture No. 16, dated August 15, 2016 (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Registrar, relating to the Notes; duplicates of the global certificates representing the Notes; and the Underwriting Agreement.
In rendering the opinions contained herein, I have relied upon my examination or the examination by members of our legal staff or outside counsel (in the ordinary course of business) of the original or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the charter, bylaws or other governing documents of the subsidiaries named in Schedule I hereto (the “Schedule I Subsidiaries”), resolutions and written consents of their respective boards of directors, general partners, managers and managing members, as the case may be, statements and certificates from officers of the Schedule I Subsidiaries and, to the extent obtained, from various state authorities, status telecopies provided by Corporation Service Company and CT Corporation, and such other documents and records relating to the Schedule I Subsidiaries as we have deemed appropriate. I, or a member of my staff, have also examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such corporate and other records, agreements, documents and other instruments of all the registrants and have made such other investigations as I have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, I have relied upon certificates or comparable documents or statements of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, Holdings and the Schedule I Subsidiaries.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, I have also assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, I am of the opinion that: (1) the Indenture and the Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed and delivered, as applicable, by each of the Schedule I Subsidiaries; and (2) the execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture and the issuance and performance of the Guarantees by each of the Schedule I Guarantors do not and will not violate the law of its state of incorporation or formation.
This opinion letter is given as of the date hereof, and I assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion letter to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to my attention or any change in laws that may hereafter occur.
