Acquisitions and Dispositions | NOTE 2 — ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we paid $380 million to acquire a hospital in New Hampshire and other nonhospital health care entities. Purchase price amounts have been allocated to the related assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The purchase price paid in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets of these acquired entities aggregated $309 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we paid $1.399 billion to acquire a seven-hospital health system in North Carolina and $193 million to acquire other nonhospital health care entities. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the acquired entities subsequent to the respective acquisition dates. The pro forma effects of these acquired entities on our results of operations for periods prior to the respective acquisition dates were not significant. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received proceeds of $68 million and recognized a net pretax loss of $6 million related to the sale of a hospital facility in Mississippi and sales of real estate and other investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we received proceeds of $49 million and recognized a net pretax gain of $17 million related to a sale of a hospital facility in one of our Louisiana markets and sales of real estate and other investments.
