In addition, the Company completed the acquisition of 118-bed Athens Regional Medical Center, located in Athens, Tennessee, effective October 1. Both acquisitions will be funded with available cash. Kenneth C. Donahey, chairman and chief executive officer of LifePoint Hospitals, said, "We are pleased that once again we have exceeded expectations. Improving EBITDA margins reflect our success LPNT Announces Third Quarter Results Page 2 October 22, 2001 at generating internal growth through cost controls, expanding services and recruiting physicians. During the quarter, we also announced two acquisitions. Our ability to fund these acquisitions with available cash continues to demonstrate our fiscal discipline. In addition to our solid financial performance, we are proud to continue providing quality healthcare in the communities we serve. Combined, these accomplishments solidly position us to reach our immediate and long-term objectives."
