SunLink has conducted its healthcare facilities business since 2001 and its specialty pharmacy business since April 2008.

On April 8, 2011, SunLink Health Systems, Inc. announced that it has reached a preliminary agreement and executed a letter of intent with Foundation HealthCare Affiliates, LLC ("Foundation") and New Age Fuel, Inc. ("New Age"), and Foundation Investment Affiliates I, LLC ("FIA") for the non-cash merger of certain Foundation and New Age, FIA, subsidiaries and affiliates with and into newly formed acquisition subsidiaries of SunLink.
