This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to revise certain items in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Health Management Associates, Inc. (the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the "2011 Form 10-K"), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 27, 2012. The revised items relate solely to (i) the presentation of net revenue and the provision for doubtful accounts for all years and quarterly periods covered by the 2011 Form 10-K and (ii) the addition of supplemental guarantor condensed consolidating financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the three years ended December 31, 2011. The reasons for these changes are summarized below.

(i) During July 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended and updated U.S. generally accepted accounting principles regarding the income statement presentation and related disclosures of net revenue for health care entities (the "Net Revenue Update"). Among other things, the Net Revenue Update requires health care entities to (i) present the provision for doubtful accounts as a reduction of net patient service revenue in the income statement if the entity does not assess a patient's ability to pay prior to rendering services or determine that collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured and (ii) provide certain enhanced footnote disclosures. The Net Revenue Update does not otherwise change the revenue recognition criteria for health care entities. The modification to the presentation of the income statement was required to be adopted on a retrospective basis but the enhanced footnote disclosures were permitted to be adopted either retrospectively or prospectively. Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted the Net Revenue Update (as permitted thereunder, the enhanced footnote disclosures were adopted on a prospective basis). The revised sections of the 2011 Form 10-K that are included at Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K reflect the modification to the presentation of the Company's consolidated statements of income for the three years ended December 31, 2011 in accordance with the Net Revenue Update.

(ii) Certain of the Company's subsidiaries provide joint and several unconditional guarantees as to payment for borrowings under specified long-term debt arrangements; however, other Company subsidiaries are not required to provide any such guarantees. In connection with a pending registration of the Company's 7.375% Senior Notes due 2020 with the SEC and the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, supplemental guarantor condensed consolidating financial statements are being provided for all years and balance sheet dates covered by the audited consolidated financial statements that were included in the 2011 Form 10-K.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is not an amendment to, or a restatement of, the audited consolidated financial statements that were included in the 2011 Form 10-K or any other sections included therein. The sections from the 2011 Form 10-K that have been revised, as described herein, are listed below and such revised sections are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
