EX-5.6

We have acted as special limited counsel in the State of Florida to the entities listed on Schedule I (collectively, the “Florida Subsidiary Guarantors”), in connection with the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors’ proposed guarantees (collectively, the “Debt Guarantees”) of debt securities (collectively, the “Debt Securities”) to be issued from time to time by Community Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), or CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CHS/CHS” and, together with Parent, the “Issuers”), pursuant to forms of senior and subordinated notes indentures (collectively, the “Indentures”) that were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as exhibits to the Issuers’ registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) on or about May 6, 2015.

In connection with our representation, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries as are pertinent or necessary for the purpose of rendering the opinions herein expressed. We have examined and are familiar with the original or copies, certified or otherwise, identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, records and other instruments as are necessary for the furnishing of this letter.

In rendering our opinions herein, we have relied with respect to factual matters, upon the Officers’ Certificate (defined below), and certificates of public officials referred to below. In addition thereto, we have reviewed and relied upon such records, documents, certificates and other instruments, originals or copies, certified or otherwise, as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to form the basis for rendering our opinions, including, without limitation, the following:

The documents described in Paragraphs (i) through (iii) above are sometimes collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Organizational Documents.” The documents described in Paragraphs (iv) and (vi) above are collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Transaction Documents” The Organizational Documents and the Transaction Documents shall collectively be referred to as the “Opinion Documents.”

We have also reviewed such other documents, instruments and certificates as we have deemed relevant or necessary to form the basis for the opinions set forth in this opinion letter.

For the purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, without independent verification or investigation, (i) the genuineness of all signatures of, and the authority of, persons signing the Opinion Documents, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iii) the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or copies and (iv) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the parties thereto other than the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, limitations hereinabove and hereinafter stated, it is our opinion that:

1. Based on the Certificates of Status, each of the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors is a validly existing limited liability company or limited partnership, as the case may be, organized under the laws of the State of Florida.

2. Each of the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors has the requisite limited liability company or limited partnership power, as the case may be, to guarantee the Debt Securities pursuant to the terms of the Indentures and to perform its obligations under the Debt Guarantees.

3. The Debt Guarantees, upon being duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company or limited partnership action, as the case may be, executed by an authorized signatory and delivered, will be validly authorized, executed, and delivered for limited liability company or limited partnership law purposes by each Florida Subsidiary Guarantor.

No opinion is given or expressed, nor should any opinion be inferred or implied, as to the truthfulness, completeness or accuracy of any representation, warranty, certification or statement by any of the parties to the Opinion Documents or any document or item referred to or described in the Opinion Documents.

Our opinions are further subject to the following qualifications and limitations: (i) provisions in the Transaction Documents which provide that any obligations of any Florida Guarantor thereunder will not be affected by the action or failure to act on the part of any other party thereto or by an amendment or waiver of the provisions contained in the other Transaction Documents might not be enforceable under circumstances in which such action, failure to act, amendment or waiver so materially changes the essential terms of the obligations that, in effect, a new contract has arisen between the parties; (ii) our opinions do not relate to any documents or instruments other than the Opinion Documents, and we express no opinion as to such other

documents or instruments (including, without limitation, any documents or instruments referenced or incorporated in any of the Transaction Documents) or as to the interplay between the Opinion Documents and any such other documents and instruments; and (iii) we express no opinion as to any security interest created or purported to be created under the Transaction Documents.

Where our opinion herein with respect to the existence or absence of facts is indicated to be based on or to our knowledge, it is intended to signify that during the course of our representation as special counsel to the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors, no information has come to our attention which would give us actual knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts. When a matter is stated herein to be “to our knowledge” it means the actual current recollections of those persons in our firm who have given substantive attention to the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents and does not include constructive knowledge of matters or information. Such phrase does not imply that we have undertaken any independent investigation within our firm, with the Florida Subsidiary Grantors or with any third party to determine the existence or absence of any facts or circumstances, and no inference should be drawn merely from our past or current representation of the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors.

This firm takes no responsibility for updating our opinion to take into account any event, action, interpretation, change of law or similar item after the date hereof.

We are licensed to practice law in the State of Florida, and we have not examined the laws of any other jurisdiction in connection with this opinion letter. Accordingly, the foregoing opinions apply only with respect to the present laws of the State of Florida, and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We do not express any opinion as to any parties to the Transaction Documents other than the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors.

This opinion is rendered pursuant to your request in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and speaks only as of the date hereof. We assume no responsibility or obligation to update this opinion or to take into account changes in law, facts or any other developments of which we may later become aware.
