Exhibit 99.2


     The following unaudited consolidated financial data and statistics of
Province Healthcare Company ("Province") are being provided to supplement the
information that will be discussed on the LifePoint Hospitals, Inc.
("LifePoint") conference call scheduled for April 28, 2005. Certain unaudited
financial information relating to Province for the three months ended March 31,
2005 has not been and is not required to be filed by Province with the SEC
because on April 15, 2005, Province filed with the SEC a Form 15-12B which
suspended Province's duty to file such information. This information was not
reviewed by the Province senior management in place prior to our business
combination. The information being furnished resulted from Province's
information technology systems and management reporting systems analysis. We do
not believe that this information is materially incorrect, but this information
has not been through the same review or processes that we have in place for our
other existing facilities or for the release of our financial results generally.

(1)  Management and investors use equivalent admissions as a general measure of
     combined inpatient and outpatient volume. Equivalent admissions is computed
     by multiplying admissions (inpatient volumes) by the outpatient factor (the
     sum of gross inpatient revenue and gross outpatient revenue divided by
     gross inpatient revenue). The equivalent admissions computation "equates"
     outpatient revenue to the volume measure (admissions) used to measure
     inpatient volume resulting in a general measure of combined inpatient and
     outpatient volume.
