Amendments 11-018 and 11-019. LewisGale worked with three other Virginia
hospital systems (Ballard Health, C ommunity Health Systems and Lifepoint
Hospitals) to pursue a budget amendment at the General Assembly to allow
the Virginia Department of Medicaid Services (D MA S) to receive the funds
generated by the participating the localities. T he General Assembly adopted the

T he Authority desires to refund and refinance the 2016 Bond in order to achieve
