CHARLOTTE - In a triumph for the communities served by Lake Norman and Davis Regional Medical Centers, a federal judge granted Novant Health permission to move forward with purchasing the facilities and their related businesses, including physician clinic operations and outpatient services from subsidiaries of Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CYH).

'We are thrilled that the federal court recognized the additional benefits Novant Health will bring to the people served by Lake Norman and Davis Regional Medical Centers,' said Carl S. Armato, president and CEO, Novant Health. 'This outcome is a victory for the area, and our plan to deliver on the commitments we've made begins now. We have always believed these communities deserve access to a rich healthcare ecosystem with robust and comprehensive care services from family physicians to pediatrics and specialty care. We're eager to welcome the Lake Norman and Davis facilities into the Novant Health network and we look forward to not only restoring healthcare services the area has lost, but also bringing our renowned safety and quality excellence to the community.'

As a nationally recognized leader in quality and patient safety, Novant Health's commitments to the community include: Making significant investments to improve the safety and quality of healthcare services provided.
