         Re:  10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         This opinion is being furnished to you in connection with the
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-110117) (the "Registration
Statement") filed by Ardent Health Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the "Parent"), Ardent Health Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Issuer"), and the other subsidiaries of the Parent named therein as
guarantors (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), relating to the registration of up to $225,000,000 principal
amount of the Issuer's 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the "Exchange
Notes") to be issued in an exchange offer for $225,000,000 principal amount of
the Issuer's outstanding 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the "Original
Notes"). The Original Notes are, and the Exchange Notes will be, guaranteed by
the Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantors, including BHC Windsor Hospital, Inc.
(the "Ohio Guarantor"). Original Notes that are accepted for exchange for
Exchange Notes will be cancelled and retired.

         The Original Notes were and the Exchange Notes will be issued pursuant
to an Indenture dated as of August 19, 2003 (the "Indenture") among the Issuer,
the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust National Association,
N.A., as trustee. The Original Notes were issued and sold on August 19, 2003 to
Banc of America Securities LLC, UBS Securities LLC, Banc One Capital Markets,
Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, the initial
purchasers thereof (the "Initial Purchasers"), without registration under the
Securities Act, and were offered and sold by the Initial Purchasers to qualified
institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and in
transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the
Securities Act.

         We have acted as special counsel to the Company in connection with Ohio
law matters. In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined and
relied upon copies of the Registration Statement, the Indenture and the Form of
Notation of Guarantee (the "Notation of Guarantee") under the Indenture. We have
also examined originals, or copies of originals certified to our satisfaction,
of such documents and records, and have examined such questions of law and have
satisfied ourselves as to such matters of fact, as we have considered relevant

other appropriate persons. We have assumed the authenticity of all documents

of any copies thereof submitted to us for our examination.

         Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and

existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio.

         2.       The Ohio Guarantor has full right, power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Indenture and the
Notation of Guarantee.

         3.       The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed, and
delivered by the Ohio Guarantor.

         4.       The Notation of Guarantee has been duly authorized by the Ohio
Guarantor.

         5.       The execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture and
the Notation of Guarantee by the Ohio Guarantor does not and will not violate
any applicable Ohio law.

         This opinion letter is limited to the laws of the State of Ohio.

         Ropes & Gray LLP may rely upon this opinion as if it were addressed to
them.
