ITEM 2.    ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.


On April 3, 1997, Consolidated Health Corp. of Pittsburgh, Inc. ("CHC/P"), a
Pennsylvania corporation 100% owned by Consolidated Health Corporation of
Mississippi, Inc. ("CHC"), Registrant's wholly-owned hospital management
subsidiary, acquired the operating assets of the Podiatry Hospital, an acute
care foot and ankle hospital with 13 licensed beds located in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania (the "Hospital"), from the Podiatry Hospital of Pittsburgh, a
not-for-profit Pennsylvania corporation (the "Seller").  The acquisition was
effective retroactive to January 1, 1997, when CHC/P assumed operational
responsibility for the Hospital from the Seller.  CHC/P will continue to
operate the Hospital as an acute care hospital.

The purchase price for the assets of the Hospital, which consist of land,
buildings, inventory and equipment, was $1,542,366, of which $1,166,000 was
cash, $250,000 was in the form of a purchase money second mortgage taken back
by the Seller, and $126,366 represents the assumption of certain liabilities.

The cash portion of the purchase price was funded by NPF X, Inc., an affiliate
of the Registrant's primary lender, through a $500,000 cash advance on a new
accounts receivable lending facility obtained by Registrant for the Hospital,
and the issuance by CHC/P to NPF X, Inc. of a $635,000 promissory note secured
by a first mortgage on the acquired assets (i.e. land, buildings and owned
equipment).
