Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to HCA Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), HCA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the direct parent of the Company (“Holdings”) and the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedules I and II hereto (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with Holdings, the “Guarantors”) in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-175791), as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company and the Guarantors with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the issuance thereunder by the Company of $1,350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed (each a “Guarantee” and, collectively, the “Guarantees”) (i) on a senior unsecured basis by Holdings and (ii) jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated February 7, 2012 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the underwriters named therein.

We have examined the Registration Statement as it became effective under the Act; the prospectus dated July 26, 2011 (the “Base Prospectus”), as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated February 7, 2012 (the “Final Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the

Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), filed by the Company and the Guarantors pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act; the Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, Holdings, Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as registrar, paying agent and transfer agent (in each capacity, the “Registrar”), as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture No. 4, dated as of February 16, 2012 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Registrar; duplicates of the global notes representing the Notes; and the Underwriting Agreement.

We also have examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and the Guarantors.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We also have assumed that the Indenture is the valid and legally binding obligations of the Trustee.

We have assumed further that (1) the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Guarantors listed on Schedule I (the “Schedule I Guarantors”), (2) the execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture and the Guarantees by each of the Schedule I Guarantors do not and will not violate the law of its state of incorporation or organization or any other applicable law (except that we make no such assumption with respect to the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States).

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

Our opinions set forth above are subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York, the federal law of the United States, the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company filed with the Commission in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement.
