Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to SMT Health Services Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Corporation"), in connection with the proposed issuance by
the Corporation of an additional 44,940 shares of the Corporation's common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), pursuant to the terms
of the 1991 Directors Stock Option Plan for Nonemployee Directors (the"Plan").
In connection with such proposed issuance, we have examined the Plan,
the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended and restated,
the minutes of the proceedings of the Corporation, the Registration Statement
on Form S-8 covering the issuance of the shares, and such other documents,
records, certificates of public officials, statutes and decisions as we
consider necessary to express the opinions contained herein. In the
examination of such documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals
and the conformity to those original documents of all documents submitted to
us as certified or photostatic copies.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that when the Registration
Statement shall have been declared effective by order of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and when the Common Stock has been duly issued and
delivered pursuant to the terms of the Plan, such shares of Common Stock will
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
