ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Paracelsus  Healthcare  Corporation  ("the Company")entered into a stock
purchase agreement, dated September 14, 1999, for the sale  of  Paracelsus
Senatobia Community, Inc. ("Senatobia"), which owned and operated a 76 bed
acute care hospital located in Mississippi, to Associates Capital Group, LLC
("ACG"), a Georgia limited liability company. The transaction was completed on
September 30, 1999.

The sales price of approximately  $4.7 million resulted from an arms-length
negotiation and included the sale of net working capital.  The sales price was
paid by a combination of $100,000 in cash, $1.6 million of second lien
promissory notes, and the assumption by ACG of approximately $3.0 million in
capital lease obligations and of certain lease guaranty payments.  The notes
included (i) a short-term working capital note of $380,000("Note A"), which
bears no interest and matures on November 29, 1999, and (ii) a working capital
note of $320,000 ("Note B") and a secured promissory note of $855,000 ("Note
C"), both of which bear interest of 8% per annum and mature on September 30,
2002 and 2004, respectively. Notes A and B are subject to final working capital
adjustments.  Additionally, Notes B and C are subject to certain discounts
under certain circumstances. Notes B and C are secured by all the outstanding
shares of common stock and assets of Senatobia.  The Company expects to record
a gain of approximately $2.3 million ($1.3 million net of tax) on the sale of
Senatobia.

As previously reported, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of
four skilled nursing facilities (collectively, the "Convalescent Hospitals"),
effective June 30, 1999.  The sales price of approximately  $6.9 million, which
excluded working capital, was paid by a combination of $3.0 million in cash and
a $3.9 million second lien promissory note. Additionally, the buyer also
assumed an operating lease at one of the facilities. In connection with the
sale, the Company paid $1.0 million to terminate a lease agreement at one of the
facilities and used the remaining $2.0 million of cash proceeds from the sale to
reduce its outstanding indebtedness under its senior credit agreement. The
Company recorded a gain of approximately $1.3 million ($774,000 net of tax) on
the sale of the Convalescent Hospitals.

Effective March 31, 1999, the Company completed the sale of the stock of
Paracelsus Bledsoe County General Hospital, Inc.("Bledsoe")to ACG.  The sales
price of approximately $2.2 million, which included the sale of  net working
capital, was paid by a combination of $100,000 in cash and the issuance  by ACG
of $1.5 million in secured promissory notes (the "Bledsoe Notes") and a
$642,000 thirty-day promissory note, which was paid in May 1999. The Bledsoe
Notes are secured by all outstanding common stock and assets of Bledsoe.  The
Company recorded no material gain or loss on the sale.

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

In addition to reflecting the sale of Senatobia, the Convalescent Hospitals
and Bledsoe, the pro forma  financial information required by Item 7(b) also
reflects the  Company's  sale of Chico Community Hospital  and  Chico
Community  Rehabilitation  Hospital (collectively "Chico") on June 30, 1998,
and of eight hospitals located in metropolitan Los Angeles ("LA Metro") on
September 30, 1998, and the Company's acquisition of the remaining 50 %
partnership interest in a general  partnership  operating as Dakota  Heartland
Health  System  ("DHHS") on July 1, 1998.

   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following  table  presents  the  Unaudited  Pro  Forma  Condensed Combining

Unaudited Pro Forma  Condensed Combining Statements of Operations assume the
above transactions occurred at the beginning of each period presented. The Pro
Forma Condensed Combining Balance Sheet assumes the sale of Senatobia occurred
on June 30, 1999.

Effective September 30, 1999, the Company entered into a stock purchase
agreement, dated September 14, 1999, for the sale  of  Senatobia for
approximately  $4.7 million, which included the sale of net working capital.
The sales price was paid by a combination of $100,000 in cash, $1.6 million of
second lien promissory notes, and the assumption by ACG of approximately $3.0
million in capital lease obligations and of certain lease guaranty payments.
The notes included (i) a short-term working capital Note A of $380,000, which
bears no interest and matures on November 29, 1999, and (ii) a working capital
Note B of $320,000 and a secured promissory Note C of $855,000, both of which
bear interest of 8% per annum and mature on September 30, 2002 and 2004,
respectively. Notes A and B are subject to final working capital adjustments.
Additionally, Notes B and C are subject to certain discounts under certain
circumstances.  Notes B and C are secured by all the outstanding shares of
common stock and assets of Senatobia. The Company expects to record a gain of
approximately $2.3 million ($1.3 million net of tax) on the sale of Senatobia.

Effective June 30, 1999, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of
the Convalescent Hospitals.  The sales price of approximately  $6.9 million,
which excluded working capital, was paid by a combination of $3.0 million in
cash and a $3.9 million second lien promissory note. Additionally, the buyer
also assumed an operating lease at one of the facilities. The note, bearing
interest at 9% per annum, matures on June 30, 2004, and is subject to
prepayment discounts.  In connection with the sale, the Company paid
$1.0 million to terminate a lease agreement at one of the facilities and used
the remaining $2.0 million of cash proceeds from the sale to reduce its
outstanding indebtedness under its senior credit agreement. The Company
recorded a gain of approximately $1.3 million ($774,000 net of tax) on the sale
of the Convalescent Hospitals.

Effective March 31, 1999, the Company completed the sale of the stock of
Bledsoe to ACG.  The sales price of approximately $2.2 million, which included
the sale of net working capital, was paid by a combination of $100,000 in cash
and the issuance by ACG of $1.5 million in secured promissory notes and a
$642,000 thirty-day promissory note, which was paid in May 1999. The Bledsoe
Notes are secured by all outstanding common stock and assets of Bledsoe.
The Company recorded no material gain or loss on the sale.
