Exhibit 99.1 [CHS LOGO] COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. Investor Contact: W. Larry Cash Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (615) 373-9600 COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2005 RESULTS WITH NET OPERATING REVENUES UP 19.1%, AND INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PER SHARE (DILUTED) UP 28.9% BRENTWOOD, TN. (July 28, 2005) -- Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CYH) today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005. Net operating revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005, totaled $918.7 million, a 19.1% increase compared with $771.1 million for the same period last year. Income from continuing operations increased 18.9% to $46.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared with $38.8 million for the same period last year. Income from continuing operations per share (diluted) increased 28.9% to $0.49 on 99.3 million weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared with $0.38 on 109.0 million weighted average shares outstanding for the same period last year. Net income increased 5.4% to $40.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared with $38.4 million for the same period last year. Net income per share (diluted) increased 16.2% to $0.43 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $0.37 for the same period last year. Loss on discontinued operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 consists of an after-tax loss of approximately $5.6 million, approximately $0.06 per share (diluted), related to the designation during the second quarter of 2005 of one hospital as being held for sale and resulting impairment writedown. Refer to pages 3 and 4 for "Financial Highlights." Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2005 was $140.2 million, compared with $118.8 million for the same period last year, representing a 17.9% increase. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted to exclude discontinued operations and minority interest in earnings. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of liquidity. Net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2005 was $127.7 million, compared with $144.3 million for the same period last year, a decrease of 11.5%. The consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005, reflect a 8.8% increase in total admissions compared with the same period last year. This increase is attributable to hospitals that have been acquired by the Company subsequent to June 30, 2004. On a same-store basis, admissions increased 0.3% and adjusted admissions increased 1.3% compared with the same period last year. On a same-store basis, net operating revenues increased 9.3%, compared with the same period last year. Net operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005, totaled $1.8 billion, compared with $1.6 billion for the same period last year, a 17.8% increase, again demonstrating the Company's successful integration of acquisitions over the last several years. Income from continuing operations increased 17.6% to $95.2 million or $1.01 per share (diluted), on 98.7 million weighted average shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with $81.0 million, or $0.78 per share (diluted) on 109.1 million weighted average shares outstanding, for the same period last year. Loss on discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 consist of an after-tax loss of approximately $18.7 million, or $0.19 per share (diluted), related to the sale of four hospitals during the first quarter of 2005, one of which was designated as being held-for-sale at December 31, 2004, the termination of one hospital's lease during the first quarter of 2005 and an impairment write-down related to the designation of one additional hospital as being held-for-sale during the second quarter of 2005. Net income decreased 3.3% to $76.5 million, or $0.82 per share (diluted), for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with $79.2 million, or $0.77 per share (diluted) for the same period last year. - MORE -

On a same-store basis, admissions increased 2.2%, adjusted admissions increased 2.0%, and net operating revenues increased 9.0%, compared with the same period last year. Commenting on the results, Wayne T. Smith, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Community Health Systems, Inc. stated, "Community Health Systems delivered a very solid financial and operating performance for the second quarter of 2005. These results reflect consistent execution of our centralized and standardized operating strategy and our focus on quality care. This strategy has enabled us to continue to integrate newly acquired hospitals into our system and quickly bring their level of performance in line with our high operating standards. Our strong revenue and volume trends through the first half of 2005 validate the strength of our operating model and we are very pleased with the trends in our business." On June 30, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Bedford County Medical Center (104 beds) in Shelbyville, Tennessee. "Our proven track record for identifying suitable acquisition candidates has been a key driver of our growth and success in the marketplace," Smith added. "Furthermore, we believe the market continues to look favorable for well-managed non-urban hospitals with additional opportunities for Community Health Systems. We see a growing number of hospitals looking for a trusted partner to provide the resources that will enable them to deliver quality healthcare in their communities. Our reputation as the acquirer of choice reflects our commitment to meet this critical need and deliver solid results. We have an active pipeline of acquisition candidates and have a high degree of confidence that we will achieve our operational and financial objectives for 2005."

Two hospitals were previously classified as discontinued operations in 2004. (b) EBITDA consists of income before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted to exclude discontinued operations and minority interest in earnings. The Company has from time to time sold minority interests in certain of its subsidiaries or acquired subsidiaries with existing minority interest ownership positions. The Company believes that it is useful to present adjusted EBITDA because it excludes the portion of EBITDA attributable to these third party interests and clarifies for investors the Company's portion of EBITDA generated by our continuing operations. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of liquidity. The Company has included this measure because the Company believes it provides investors with additional information about its ability to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA is the basis for a key component in the determination of the Company's compliance with some of the covenants under its senior secured credit facility, as well as to determine the interest rate and commitment fee payable under the senior secured credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating financial performance and liquidity. The Company's calculation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. - MORE -

CYH Announces June 30, 2005 Results Page 10 July 28, 2005 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE The following table sets forth selected information concerning the updated projected consolidated operating results of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2005. These projections are based on the Company's historical operating performance, current trends and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable at this time. The revision to the Company's previous guidance provided on February 24, 2005, reflects the solid performance above guidance in the first and second quarters of 2005 and the designation of one hospital as held for sale in the second quarter of 2005 and resulting impairment writedown. The following is provided as guidance to analysts and investors: 2005 Projection Range ----------------------- Net operating revenues (in millions) $3,675 to $3,725 Adjusted EBITDA (in millions) $555 to $575 (a) Income from continuing operations per share - diluted $1.91 to $1.96 (b) Net income per share - diluted $1.71 to $1.75 (b)(c) Same hospitals annual admissions growth 1.5% to 3.0% Weighted average diluted shares (in millions) 99 to 100 (b) Acquisitions of new hospitals 3 to 4 Income from Continuing Operations Per Share - Diluted Estimated by Quarter: 3rd quarter ending September 30, 2005 $0.43 to $0.45 4th quarter ending December 31, 2005 $0.47 to $0.51 - --------------- For Footnotes (a), (b) and (c) see page 11. The following assumptions were used in developing the guidance provided above: - - Includes approximately $5.0 million of additional compensation expense with an after-tax impact of approximately $0.04 per share (diluted) related to the awarding on February 28, 2005, of 561,000 shares of restricted stock to various employees and directors, which was not previously reflected in the Company's 2005 guidance. - - Expressed as a percentage of net operating revenue, provision for bad debts is projected to be approximately 10.2% to 10.5% for 2005. - - Capital expenditures are as follows (in millions): Actual Guidance 2004 2005 ------ ------------ Total $ 164 $190 to $200 - - Expressed as a percent of net operating revenues, total depreciation and amortization is projected to be approximately 4.3% to 4.6% for 2005; however, this is a fixed cost and the percentages may vary as revenue varies. - - Expressed as a percentage of income before income taxes, provision for income tax is projected to be approximately 38.5% to 39.1% for 2005. - MORE -
CYH Announces June 30, 2005 Results Page 11 July 28, 2005 - - The Company is currently a party to nine separate interest swap agreements to limit the effect of changes in interest rates on a portion of the Company's long-term borrowings. Six separate interest swap agreements were in place at December 31, 2004. Three additional interest rate swap agreements have been added during 2005. Under the first agreement entered into on April 28, 2005, with a $100 million notional amount, effective November 30, 2005 and expiring on November 30, 2009, the Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 4.3375%. Under the second agreement entered into on May 23, 2005, with a $100 million notional amount and expiring on May 30, 2008, the Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 4.061%. Under the third agreement entered into on June 2, 2005, with a $100 million notional amount, effective June 6, 2005, and expiring on June 6, 2009, the Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 3.935%. The Company receives a variable rate of interest on each of these swaps based on the three-month London Inter-Bank Offer Rate ("Libor"), excluding the margin paid under the senior secured credit facility on a quarterly basis, which is currently 175 basis points for revolver loans and term loans under the senior secured credit facility. - --------------- Footnotes from page 10 (a) The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA, as defined, to the Company's estimated net cash provided by operating activities as presented in the above guidance: 2005 Projection Range (in millions) ------------------------------------ Adjusted EBITDA $ 555 $ 575 Taxes and interest expense (209) (215) Other non-cash expenses and net changes in operating assets and liabilities 14 20 --------------- -------------- Estimated Net cash provided by operating activities $ 360 $ 380 =============== ============== (b) The inclusion of the assumed conversion of convertible notes for purposes of fully diluted calculation is expected to cause an approximate $0.08 projected decrease in the reported income from continuing operations per share in 2005. Accordingly, for purposes of providing guidance, the Company has assumed the conversion of the convertible notes (after tax interest savings of $8.7 million and 8.6 million shares added to the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share). (c) Net loss on sale of disclosed divestures is reflected in net income per share - diluted guidance to the extent transactions have been closed. Reference is made to the Company's current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2005, which sets forth the assumptions used in developing the 2005 guidance and the cautionary statements made as to reliance on this guidance. - END -
