Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

     Effective August 6, 1999, the board of directors of Dialysis Corporation
of America (the "Company") upon the recommendation of its audit committee
terminated its relationship with its independent accountants, Ernst & Young
LLP ("E&Y") and engaged new independent accountants, Wiss & Company, LLP,
which firm will do the Company's annual audit for its 1999 fiscal year.

     E&Y's report on the Company's financial statements for the last two
fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 contained no adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion, nor was qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles.

     During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and
subsequent interim period, the quarter ended March 31, 1999, there were no
disagreements with E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure nor any
"reportable events" as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K of
the SEC.

     The Company has provided E&Y with a copy of the disclosures as contained
in this report and has requested E&Y to furnish the Company with a letter
addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made in
this report.  A copy of E&Y's letter to the SEC, dated August 13, 1999, is
filed as Exhibit 16 to this current report on Form 8-K.
