                          Second Quarter 2008 Results

Linthicum, Maryland, Wednesday, August 6, 2008 - Dialysis Corporation of
America (NASDAQ-DCAI) announced its financial results for the second quarter
of 2008. Operating revenues for the second quarter were $20,836,000 compared
to $18,485,000 for the same period last year, a 13% increase, and $41,321,000
for the first half of 2008 compared to $35,376,000 for the same period last
year, a 17% increase. Net income for the quarter was $663,000 or $.07 per
share ($.07 diluted per share) compared to $753,000 or $.08 per share ($.08
diluted per share) for the same period last year, and $1,112,000 or $.12 per
share ($.12 diluted per share) for the first half of 2008 compared to
$1,136,000 or $.12 per share ($.12 diluted per share) for the same period
last year.

Stephen Everett, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "With the
exception of a few non-recurring expense items during the quarter, our
financial performance was on target with company expectations. Additionally,
DCA's clinical quality results continue to rank well above industry averages,
which is a critical component of both our short and long term goals. Our
company's technical and financial infrastructure continues to build with the
recent addition of a clinical reporting software system, which will be
deployed throughout the organization over the next couple of years. Finally,
I am pleased to announce that our new center in Camp Hill Pennsylvania was
certified by Medicare earlier this week and is in the process of bringing new
patients into our system. We anticipate this center to be treating
approximately 75 patients within its first full year of operation."

Financial results included: (i) a non-recurring reserve of $375,000 for
patients with terminated benefits, reimbursement rates less than anticipated,
and non-collectable receivables from a patient; (ii) pre-tax costs associated
with the opening of new centers of $62,000 for the second quarter of 2008
compared to $112,000 for the same period last year, and $238,000 for the
first half of 2008 compared to $318,000 for the same period last year; and
(iii) non-cash stock and option compensation expense of $82,000 for the
second quarter of 2008 compared to $88,000 for the same period last year and
$156,000 for the first half of 2008 compared to $201,000 for the same period
last year.
