ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On June 30, 1998, Paracelsus  Healthcare Corporation  (the "Company") completed
the sale of substantially all of the  assets of Chico Community Hospital, Inc.,
which included a 123 licensed bed  acute care hospital and a  60  licensed  bed
rehabilitation  hospital, both located  in  Chico, California,  to  N.T.  Enloe
Memorial Hospital   and  Enloe  Health System, both California nonprofit public
benefit  corporations,  for $25.0  million in cash plus working capital and the
termination  of  a  facility operating lease and an associated letter of credit
obligation.  The  working  capital component of the transaction is subject to a
post-closing  settlement.  The  purchase  price  was arrived at through an arms
length  negotiation.   Net  proceeds  of the transaction were applied to reduce
amounts outstanding under the Company's Amended and Restated Reducing Revolving
Credit  Facility  (the  "Credit Facility"), the agent bank of which is Paribas,
and  to  reduce  off - balance  sheet  commercial  paper  outstanding under the
Company's receivable financing program. The Company expects to report a gain of
approximately $4.2 million (net of tax) on the transaction.

On  July  1, 1998, the Company (through its subsidiary,  Paracelsus  Healthcare
Corporation  of  North  Dakota,  Inc.) completed the purchase of Dakota Medical
Foundation's 50% partnership interest  in  a  general  partnership operating as
Dakota Heartland Health System ("DHHS" or the "Partnership")  for $64.5 million
dollars, thereby giving the Company 100% ownership of DHHS. The  purchase price
was pursuant to a right of the Dakota Medical Foundation to require the Company
to  purchase  its  50%  interest.  Such right was negotiated on an arms  length
basis and was part of the  original  partnership  agreement  entered into as of
December 31, 1994, which also established the formula for the  purchase  price.
The  Company  funded the acquisition from borrowings under its Credit Facility.
Prior to the purchase,  the  Company  owned  50%  of DHHS and accounted for its
investment under the equity method.  DHHS owns and  operates a 218 licensed bed
tertiary care hospital in Fargo, North Dakota.

         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The  following table presents  the  Unaudited  Pro  Forma  Condensed  Combining
Statements  of  Operations  for  the three months ended March 31, 1998, and the
year ended December 31, 1997, to illustrate  the  effect  of  the sale of Chico
Community  Hospital  and Chico Community Rehabilitation Hospital  on  June  30,
1998,  and  the Company's  acquisition  of  Dakota  Medical  Foundation's  (the
"Foundation")  50%  partnership  interest in a general partnership operating as
Dakota Heartland Health System ("DHHS")on  July  1,  1998.   The  Unaudited Pro
Forma   Condensed   Combining   Statements   of  Operations  assume  the  above
transactions occurred at the beginning of each period.  The Pro Forma Condensed
Combining Balance Sheet assumes the above transactions  occurred  on  March 31,
1998.

On   June   30,  1998,  Paracelsus   Healthcare  Corporation   (the  "Company")
completed  the  sale  of   substantially  all of the assets of  Chico Community
Hospital, Inc., which included  a  123  licensed  bed  acute  care hospital and
a  60   licensed   bed  rehabilitation   hospital,   both  located   in   Chico,
California,  (collectively  "Chico")   to  N.T.  Enloe  Memorial  Hospital  and
Enloe    Health   System,   both   California    nonprofit    public    benefit
corporations,   for  $25.0  million  in  cash   plus   working  capital and the
termination of a facility  operating  lease  and an associated letter of credit
obligation.     The   working   capital   component   of   the  transaction  is
subject  to  a post-closing settlement.  The  purchase  price  was  arrived  at
through    an  arms  length   negotiation.  Net  proceeds  of  the  transaction
were applied  to reduce  amounts  outstanding  under the Company's  Amended and
Restated  Reducing  Revolving  Credit  Facility   (the  "Credit Facility"), the
agent  bank of which is Paribas, and to  reduce  off-balance  sheet  commercial
paper outstanding under the Company's receivable financing program.

On July 1, 1998, the Company (through  its  subsidiary,  Paracelsus  Healthcare
Corporation  of  North Dakota, Inc.) completed the purchase of the Foundation's
50% partnership interest in a general partnership operating as Dakota Heartland
Health System ("DHHS"  or the "Partnership") for $64.5 million dollars, thereby
giving the Company 100% ownership of DHHS. The purchase price was pursuant to a
right of the Dakota Medical  Foundation  to require the Company to purchase its
50% interest.  Such right was negotiated on  an  arms length basis and was part
of the original partnership agreement entered into  as  of  December  31, 1994,
which also established the formula for the purchase price.  The Company  funded
the  acquisition  from  borrowings  under  its  Credit  Facility.  Prior to the
purchase, the Company owned 50% of DHHS and accounted for  its investment under
the  equity  method.  DHHS owns and operates a 218 licensed bed  tertiary  care
hospital in Fargo, North Dakota.

These Unaudited  Pro  Forma  Condensed  Financial  Statements do not purport to
present the financial position or results of operations  of the Company had the
above  transactions occurred on the dates specified, nor are  they  necessarily
indicative  of  results  of operations that may be expected in the future.  The
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed  Combining  Financial Statements are qualified in
their entirety by reference to, and should  be  read  in  conjunction with, the

     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      The following is a summary of the pro forma adjustments by line item.

  Notes to
 Pro Forma
 Financial 
Statements                             Explanations 
- ----------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
         
(1)         The   statements   of  operations  and  balance  sheet  for  Paracelsus 
            Healthcare Corporation are summarized  from  its quarterly and annual reports 
            on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, respectively.  DHHS' financial statements as of 
            and for the three months ended March 31, 1998, are summarized  from  the  
            unaudited  consolidated historical financial statements included elsewhere 
            herein.  DHHS' statement  of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997, 
            are summarized from the Company's  annual  report on Form 10-K.

(2)         To  remove  Chico's  historical  results  of  operations,  assets sold, 
            liabilities assumed by the buyer, and liabilities paid by the Company in  
            conjunction  with the sale of Chico.

(3)         To record interest expense on (i) the net pro forma increase in the Credit 
            Facility resulting  from the Company's acquisition of the Foundation's 50% 
            interest in DHHS, less net proceeds  from  the  sale  of  Chico,  and  (ii) 
            the pro forma decrease in amounts outstanding under the Company's commercial 
            paper program as a result of the sale of Chico accounts receivable, certain 
            accounts of  which  served as collateral under the program.

            With  respect  to Chico, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combining
            Statements of Operations assume  application of $24.6 million in net proceeds
            from the Chico sale to reduce the Credit  Facility (see Note 8) and a $3.1
            million reduction in amounts outstanding under the Company's  commercial
            paper program.   The average interest rate in effect under the Credit Facility 
            was 9.0% for the quarter  ended  March 31, 1998, and 8.3% for the year ended
            December 31, 1997. The average interest rate in effect under  the commercial
            paper program was 6.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, and 6.9% for the
            year ended December 31, 1997.
 
            With respect to  DHHS,  the  Unaudited  Pro Forma Condensed Combining 
            Statements of Operations assume the Company increased the  principal amount
            outstanding under the Credit Facility by $65.0 million (See Note 10).  The
            interest rate currently in effect under the revolver portion of the Credit
            Facility is 8.4%

(4)         To  record  the  pro  forma provision for income taxes after taking into
            effect the sale of Chico and the consolidation  of  DHHS pursuant to the
            Company's acquisition of the Foundation's 50% interest in DHHS, thereby giving
            the Company 100% ownership of DHHS. Previously, the Company accounted for its
            investment  in DHHS under the equity  method.  The  incremental  effective tax
            rate on income from continuing operations was 20% and 41% for the quarter
            ended March 31, 1998, and the year ended December 31, 1997, respectively.

(5)         To  adjust  depreciation  and amortization expense for the step up in basis
            for the depreciable assets of DHHS  and  the  increase  in  goodwill in
            connection with the allocated purchase price (see  Note 10).  The acquired
            assets are estimated to have an average remaining useful life of approximately
            20  years  based  on management's assumptions that DHHS's assets consist of
            65% building and 35% equipment with the useful   life   of   such  assets
            determined in accordance with the Company's depreciation policy (35  years, 20
            years and 10 years for buildings, improvements and equipment, respectively).
            Cost in  excess  of  fair market value of net assets acquired ("Goodwill") is
            amortized on a straight line  basis over a 20-year period.  Based  on  this
            preliminary  allocation,  depreciation  and  amortization  expense increased
            approximately $136,000 and $304,000 on a pro forma basis  for the quarter
            ended March 31, 1998, and the year ended December 31, 1997, respectively.

(6)         To remove equity in the earnings of DHHS previously recorded by the Company.

(7)         To adjust the common and common equivalent shares to include the effect of
            dilutive securities on pro forma net income for the year ended 
            December 31, 1997.

            of Chico (in thousands).

(10)        To  record the acquisition  of  DHHS  using  the  purchase  method  of
            accounting, including  the  adjustment  of  DHHS's  balance sheet to reflect
            the estimated fair market value of property and equipment acquired  in  excess
            of the DHHS' historical cost.  The purchase price allocation reflected in the
            Pro Forma Condensed Combining Balance  Sheet  is based upon the best
            information currently available without a final independent appraisal of the
            net assets of DHHS.  For the purpose of allocating net acquisition costs among
            the various assets acquired, the Company has tentatively  allocated  20% of
            the net excess acquisition cost over DHHS' carrying value of the acquired
            assets  to property and equipment and 80% to Goodwill.  It is the Company's
            intention to more fully evaluate the net assets acquired and, as a result, the
            allocation of acquisition cost may change.

(10)        Note 10 (continued)

            The Company does not expect the final allocation of acquisition cost to be

                       Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   March 31, 1998
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On  December  21,  1994,  Dakota Heartland Health System (the "Partnership"), a
general  partnership, was formed  by  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Champion
Healthcare Corporation ("Champion") that owned Heartland Medical Center, a 140-
bed  general  acute  facility  in  Fargo,  North  Dakota,  and  Dakota  Medical
Foundation  (the  "Foundation"), a not-for-profit corporation that owned Dakota
Hospital, a 199-bed  general  acute  care hospital also in Fargo, North Dakota.
Champion  and  the  Foundation  contributed  certain  assets  and  liabilities,
excluding long-term debt except capital  leases, of their respective hospitals,
and Champion contributed an additional $20  million  in  cash, each in exchange
for 50% ownership in the Partnership. The Partnership then  made  a $20 million
cash  distribution  to  the Foundation. On December 21, 1994, Champion  entered
into  an operating agreement  with  the  Partnership  to  manage  the  combined
operations  of  the  two hospitals. Champion will receive 55% of the net income
and distributable cash  flow  ("DCF")  of the Partnership until such time as it
has recovered, on a cumulative basis, an  additional  $10 million of DCF in the
form  of  an "excess" distribution. In 1996, Paracelsus Healthcare  Corporation
("Paracelsus") became the sole owner of Champion.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION  -  The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  consolidated
financial  statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance  with
generally accepted  accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes  required by generally accepted accounting principles for
annual financial statements.  In  the  opinion  of  management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been  included.   The balance
sheet  at  December  31,  1997,  has  been  derived  from the audited financial
statements  at  that  date  but  does  not include all of the  information  and
footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles  for  complete
financial  statements.  The  Partnership's  business  is seasonal in nature and
subject  to  general  economic  conditions  and  other  factors.   Accordingly,
operating  results  for  the  three  months  ending  March  31,  1998,  are not
necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998.  These  financial  statements  should be read in conjunction
with  the  Partnership's audited consolidated financial  statements  and  notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1997, included in Paracelsus Healthcare
Corporation's 1997 Form 10-K.

The preparation  of  financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles  requires  management  to  make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets  and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INCOME TAXES - The Partnership's income is attributed to its partners for
income tax purposes. Accordingly, it has not accrued any liability for income
taxes. An entity owned by the Partnership has paid income taxes of $35,000 and
$150,301 for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

2. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On August 20, 1997, the Foundation exercised its right to require Paracelsus to
purchase the Foundation's 50% ownership interest in the Partnership. On July 1,
1998, Paracelsus (through its subsidiary Paracelsus  Healthcare  Corporation of
North Dakota, Inc.) completed the purchase of the Foundation's 50% ownership in
the Partnership for a negotiated purchase price of $64.5 million,  inclusive of
working  capital, thereby giving Paracelsus 100% ownership of Dakota  Heartland
Health System.    Paracelsus  has  sole  power  and  authority  to  wind up the
Partnership's business after July 1, 1998, and the Partnership shall  terminate
as of the date Paracelsus completes the wind up of the Partnership's business.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Governing Board of
Dakota Heartland Health System:

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  balance sheet of Dakota Heartland Health
System (the Partnership) as of December  31,  1995  and  1994, and the related
statements  of  income,  partners' equity and cash flows for  the  year  ended
December 31, 1995.  These  financial  statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management.  Our responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted auditing
standards.   Those  standards  require that we plan and perform the  audit  to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures  in the financial statements.  An audit
also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant
estimates  made  by management, as well as evaluating  the  overall  financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the  financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the  financial  position  of  Dakota  Heartland Health
System  as  of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its  operations,
partners' equity  and  cash  flows  for  the  year ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

DAKOTA HEARTLAND HEALTH SYSTEM
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING  POLICIES:

    On December 21, 1994, Dakota Heartland Health System, a general partnership
    (the  Partnership),  was  formed  by  a wholly owned subsidiary of Champion
    Healthcare Corporation (Champion) that  owned  Heartland  Medical Center, a
    140-bed  general  acute  care facility in Fargo, North Dakota,  and  Dakota
    Hospital (Dakota), a not-for-profit corporation that owned Dakota Hospital,
    a  199-bed  general  acute care  hospital  also  in  Fargo,  North  Dakota.
    Champion and Dakota contributed  certain  assets and liabilities, excluding
    long-term debt except capital leases, of their  respective  hospitals,  and
    Champion  contributed  an  additional $20,000,000 in cash, each in exchange
    for  50%  ownership  in  the Partnership.   The  Partnership  then  made  a
    $20,000,000 cash distribution  to  Dakota.   Also  on  December  21,  1994,
    Champion entered into an operating agreement with the Partnership to manage
    the combined operations of the two hospitals.  Champion will receive 55% of
    the  net  income and distributable cash flow (DCF) of the Partnership until
    such time as  it  has  recovered,  on  a  cumulative  basis,  an additional
    $10,000,000  of  DCF  in  the  form  of an "excess" distribution (see  also
    Note 4).

    USE OF ESTIMATES:

    The  preparation  of  financial statements  in  conformity  with  generally
    accepted accounting principles  requires  management  to make estimates and
    assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets  and liabilities and
    disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the date  of  the
    financial  statements  and  the reported amounts of net income  during  the
    reporting period.  Actual results  could  differ from those estimates.  The
    most  significant  areas which require the use  of  management's  estimates
    relate to the determination of the estimated third-party payor settlements,
    the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable and obsolete inventory.

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

    The Partnership considers  all  highly  liquid investments with an original
    maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

    PATIENT RECEIVABLES:

    Payments for services rendered to patients  covered  by  third-party  payor
    programs   are   generally   less  than  billed  charges.   Provisions  for
    contractual adjustments are made to reduce the charges to these patients to
    estimated  receipts  based  upon  the  third-party  payor's  principles  of
    payment/ reimbursement (either  prospectively determined or retrospectively
    determined costs).

    SUPPLIES INVENTORY:

    Supplies inventory is stated at the  lower  of  cost  or  market, with cost
    determined substantially on the first-in, first-out basis.

DAKOTA HEARTLAND HEALTH SYSTEM
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

    Property  and equipment acquisitions are recorded at cost at  the  date  of
    receipt.  Depreciation  is provided using the straight-line method over the
    estimated useful lives of  the  respective  assets,  ranging  from  4 to 25
    years.   Maintenance  and  repairs are charged to expense as incurred while
    renewals  and  betterments  are   capitalized.    The   costs  and  related
    accumulated depreciation on asset disposals are removed from  the  accounts
    and any gain or loss is included in income.

    INCOME TAXES:

    The  Partnership's  income  is  attributed  to  its partners for income tax
    purposes.  Accordingly, it has not accrued any liability  for income taxes.
    Entities  owned  by  the  Partnership  have  paid income taxes during  1995
    totaling $447,207.

    RECLASSIFICATIONS:

    Certain reclassifications have been made in the  1994  financial statements
    to conform to the 1995 presentation.

 2. NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE:

    The  Company's  facilities  have  entered  into agreements with third-party
    payors,  including  US  government  programs and managed care health plans,
    under  which  the Company is paid based  upon  established charges, cost of
    services  provided, predetermined rates by diagnosis, fixed per diem  rates
    or discounts or discounts from established charges.

    Net patient service revenues are recorded  at  estimated  amounts  due from
    patients   and  third-party  payors  for  health  care  services  provided,
    including  anticipated  settlements  under  reimbursement  agreements  with
    third-party  payors.  Payments for services rendered to patients covered by
    the Medicare and  Medicaid programs are generally less than billed charges.
    Provisions for contractual  adjustments are made to reduce charges to these
    patients to estimated receipts  based  upon  each  program's  principle  of
    payment/reimbursement  (either  prospectively determined or retrospectively
    determined costs).  Final settlements  under  these programs are subject to
    administrative review and audit.  The Company records  adjustments, if any,
    resulting  from  such  review  or audits during the period in  which  these
    adjustments  become known.  Allowance  for  contractual  adjustments  under
    these programs  are  netted  in  accounts  receivable  in  the accompanying
    Balance Sheet.  It is management's opinion that adequate allowance has been
    provided for possible adjustments that might result from final  settlements
    under these programs.

 4. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES, CONTINUED:

    The Partnership  has  a  50%  interest in Dakota Outpatient Center (DOC), a
    general partnership which owns and operates a medical and  office building.
    As  a  general  partner,  the  Partnership  is  contingently  liable on the
    outstanding debt of DOC.  As of December 31, 1995, the balance of the  note
    was $2,416,564.

    DOC  also  leases  its real property to Dakota Hospital, Dakota Day Surgery
    (DDS)   and  Dakota   Clinic,  Ltd.   (an  unrelated  corporation),   under
    noncancelable 10-year net operating leases.  Future  minimum  annual  lease
    payments to be paid by the Hospital and DDS are $1,414,500 through 1998.

    The Partnership also has a 50% interest in DDS, a general partnership which
    provides  outpatient   surgical   services.   As  a  general  partner,  the
    Partnership is contingently liable to cover any  operating losses  of  DDS.
    DDS had operating income in 1995.

 5. CREDIT RISK

    The  Partnership's  revenues  consist  primarily of  amounts  due  from the
    Medicare and Medicaid  programs  in addition to amounts due from  insurance
    carriers and individuals.  The Partnership determines  the  adequacy  of  a
    patient's third-party payor coverage upon admission.  However, it generally
    does  not  require  any  collateral  prior  to  performing  services.   The
    Partnership maintains reserves  for contractual  allowances  and  potential
    credit   losses   based   on  past   experience  and  management's  current
    expectations.   Medicare  and  Medicaid   gross   revenue   accounted   for
    approximately  46%  and  9%  of  the Partnership's total gross revenue.
