There is no established trading market for the new notes or the old notes.
Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it may be a statutory underwriter and that it
will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented
from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired by such

Our Company
Tenet Healthcare Corporation is a national, diversified healthcare services company. We operate regionally focused, integrated healthcare
delivery networks in large urban and suburban markets. At the core of our networks are acute care and specialty hospitals that, together with
our strategically aligned outpatient facilities and related businesses, allow us to provide a comprehensive range of healthcare services in the
communities we serve. As of March 31, 2015, we operated 80 hospitals (one of which is temporarily closed), 215 outpatient centers, six health
plans and Conifer Health Solutions LLC ("Conifer"), which provides healthcare business process services in the areas of revenue cycle
management, value-based care and patient communications. On October 1, 2013, we acquired Vanguard Health Systems, Inc. ("Vanguard"),
an investor-owned hospital company whose operations complemented our existing business. Through this acquisition, we significantly
increased our scale, became more geographically diverse and expanded the services we offer. On June 16, 2015, we acquired a 50.1% stake in
USPI Holding Company, Inc., a joint venture that combines the short-stay surgery and imaging center assets of Tenet and United Surgical
Partners International ("USPI"). The new joint venture has ownership interests in 249 ambulatory surgery centers, 18 short-stay surgical
hospitals and 20 imaging centers in 29 states. Also on June 16, 2015, we acquired European Surgical Partners Limited ("Aspen"). Aspen is
engaged in the business of operating private acute healthcare services in the United Kingdom.
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada in 1975. Our executive offices are located at 1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas
75202. Our telephone number is (469) 893-2200. We can be found on the World Wide Web at www.tenethealth.com. Information on our
website is not part of this prospectus.
The Exchange Offer
On March 10, 2014, we completed a private offering of $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Senior Notes due 2019. On
June 25, 2014, we completed a private offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Senior Notes due 2019, which were
issued as "additional notes" under the indenture dated as of March 10, 2014 and thus form a single, fungible series with the 5% old notes
issued on March 10, 2014. On September 29, 2014, we completed a private offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.50%
Senior Notes due 2019. On June 16, 2015, THC Escrow Corporation II completed a private offering of $1,900,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2023, which we assumed on June 16, 2015. As part of such offerings and assumption, as applicable, we
entered into exchange and registration rights agreements with the applicable initial purchasers of the old notes in which we agreed, among
other things, to deliver this prospectus to you and to complete an exchange offer for the applicable series of old notes. Below is a summary of

conditions in our sole discretion. If we materially change the terms of the exchange

to the Exchange Offer" for more information.

Resales of new notes
Based on interpretations by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the
SEC, as detailed in a series of no-action letters issued by the SEC to third parties, we
believe that the new notes issued in the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold
or otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act as long as:


· you are acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of your business;

· you are not participating, do not intend to participate and have no arrangement or

understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the new notes;


· you are not an "affiliate" of ours; and


· you are not a broker-dealer that acquired any of its old notes directly from us.

If you fail to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions, you will not be permitted to tender
your old notes in the exchange offer and you must comply with the registration and

prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any sale or
other transfer of your old notes unless such sale is made pursuant to an exemption from
such requirements.

RISK FACTORS
Before tendering the old notes, prospective participants in the exchange offer should carefully consider the discussions of cautionary factors
describing risks relating to our business and an investment in our securities in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2014 ("Annual Report"), incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/70318/000119312515258481/d22529d424b3.htm#toc22529_1[7/21/2015 4:40:41 PM]


424B3
March 31, 2015 ("Quarterly Report"), incorporated by reference into this prospectus. See "Where You Can Find More Information" for an
explanation of how to get a copy of our Annual Report and Quarterly Report. Other risks related to the new notes include the following:


· The protections provided in the new notes are limited, and we may take actions that could adversely affect the new notes.


· We depend on funds from our subsidiaries, which affects our ability to obtain funds to meet our debt service obligations.


· We may be unable to purchase the new notes upon a change of control.

· Although the new notes are referred to as "senior notes," they will be effectively subordinated to any secured debt we may incur and

structurally subordinated to indebtedness of our subsidiaries.


· There is no public market for the new notes, and you cannot be sure that an active trading market will develop for the new notes.
The risks and uncertainties described below and in such incorporated documents are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Our
subsequent filings with the SEC may contain amended and updated discussions of significant risks. We cannot predict future risks or estimate the
extent to which they may affect our financial performance.
Risks Related to the Exchange Offer
You may have difficulty selling the old notes you do not exchange.
If you do not exchange your old notes for new notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of
your old notes as described in the legend on the global notes representing the old notes. There are restrictions on transfer of your old notes because
we issued the old notes under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws. In general, you may offer or sell the old notes only if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws or offered and sold under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, these requirements. We do not intend to
register any old notes not tendered in the exchange offer and, upon consummation of the exchange offer, you will not be entitled to any rights to
have your untendered old notes registered under the Securities Act. In addition, the trading market, if any, for the remaining old notes will be
adversely affected depending on the extent to which old notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer.
Broker-dealers may need to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
Any broker-dealer that (1) exchanges its old notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the new notes or
(2) resells new notes that were received by it for its own account in the exchange offer may be deemed to have received restricted securities and
will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale
transaction by that broker-dealer. Any profit on the resale of the new notes and any commission or concessions received by a broker-dealer may be
deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act.

You may not receive new notes in the exchange offer if the exchange offer procedure is not followed.
We will issue the new notes in exchange for your old notes only if you tender the old notes and deliver a properly completed and duly
executed letter of transmittal and other required documents before expiration of the exchange offer. You should allow sufficient time to ensure
timely delivery of the necessary documents. Neither the exchange agent nor we are under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities
with respect to the tenders of old notes for exchange. If you are the beneficial holder of old notes that are registered in the name of your broker,
dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, and you wish to tender in the exchange offer, you should promptly contact the person in
whose name your old notes are registered and instruct that person to tender on your behalf.
