Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) announces that it has filed a class
action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Middle
District of Tennessee, captioned Padilla v. Community Health Systems,

(“Community Health” or the “Company”) securities between February 20,

Plaintiff pursues claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the

On February 27, 2018, the Company announced that its fourth quarter 2017
net operating revenues totaled $3.059 billion and were adversely
impacted by a $591 million increase in contractual allowances and
provision for bad debts. On this news, the Company’s share price fell
$1.06 per share, more than 17%, to close at $5.12 per share on February
28, 2018, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the
Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading
statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about
the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically,
Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company had
understated its contractual allowances; (2) that the Company had
understated its provision for bad debts; (3) that, as a result, the
Company had overstated its net operating revenue; (4) that, as a result,
the Company had understated its net loss; and (5) that, as a result of
the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s
business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or
lacked a reasonable basis.
