Item 5.  OTHER EVENTS.


        On March 29, 1996, registrant filed a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late 
Filing with the Commission pertaining to registrant's Form 10-K annual report 
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 (the "Form 10-K"). In that filing, 
it was indicated that the Form 10-K would not be completed until May 1996. 
Registrant's auditors, Grant Thornton, LLP, have informed registrant that the 
completion of the financial statements will be delayed beyond May 1996. It is 
now anticipated that the Form 10-K will be filed with the Commission on or 
before July 31, 1996. The additional delay is due to the complexity of the 
audit, primarily resulting from the recent filing (on April 4, 1996) of the 
Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition for Manatee Medical Laboratories, Inc., 
registrant's diagnostic testing subsidiary ("Manatee"). Manatee was 
registrant's principal business. Completion of Registrant's financial 
statements is further complicated by the necessity of auditing the financial 
statements of Consolidated Health Corporation of Mississippi, Inc., a hospital 
management company acquired by registrant in July 1995.

        Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
