ITEM 1.01   ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

      On March 8, 2005, Integrated Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (the "Company")
announced the completion of its $70-million acquisition (the "Hospital
Acquisition") of four Orange County, California hospitals and associated real
estate from subsidiaries of Tenet Healthcare Corporation ("Tenet"). The four
hospitals that were acquired are: (i) 282-bed Western Medical Center--Santa Ana,
CA; (ii) 188-bed Western Medical Center--Anaheim, CA; (iii) 178-bed Coastal
Communities Hospital in Santa Ana, CA; and (iv) 114-bed Chapman Medical Center
in Orange, CA (collectively, the "Hospitals"). The Hospitals were assigned to
four wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the "Subsidiaries") formed for
the purpose of completing the Hospital Acquisition.

      The Company also acquired the following real estate, leases and assets
associated with the Hospitals: (i) a fee interest in the Western Medical Center
at 1001 North Tustin Avenue, Santa Ana, CA 92705, a fee interest in the
administration building at 1301 North Tustin Avenue, Santa Ana, CA 92705,
certain rights to acquire condominium suites located in the medical office
building at 999 North Tustin Avenue, Santa Ana, CA, and the business known as
the West Coast Breast Cancer Center; (ii) a fee interest in the Western Medical
Center at 1025 South Anaheim Blvd., Anaheim, CA 92805; (iii) a fee interest in
the Coastal Communities Hospital at 2701 South Bristol Street, Santa Ana, CA
92704, and a fee interest in the medical office building at 1901 North College
Avenue, Santa Ana, CA; (iv) a lease for the Chapman Medical Center at 2601 East
Chapman Avenue, Orange, CA 92869, and a lease for the medical office building at
2617 East Chapman Avenue, Orange, CA; and (v) the furniture, fixtures and
contract rights associated with the Hospitals.

      As part of the Company's previously announced agreement to obtain equity
financing and financing commitments of up to $30 million from Orange County
Physicians Investment Network, LLC ("OC-PIN"), at the closing of the Hospital
Acquisition the Company transferred all of the fee interests in real estate
described in the preceding paragraph (the "Transferred Properties") to Pacific
Coast Holdings Investments, LLC ("PCHI"). PCHI is 51% owned by West Coast
Holdings, LLC (owned in part by Dr. Anil Shah) and 49% by Ganesha Realty LLC
(owned in part by Dr. Kali Chaudhuri). The Company then entered into a triple
net lease under which it leased back from PCHI all of the real estate that it
transferred to PCHI.

      OC-PIN is a majority shareholder of the Company and is managed by Dr. Anil
V. Shah. OC-PIN is owned by Dr. Shah and a number of physicians practicing at
the Hospitals.

      The Company obtained borrowings to complete the Hospital Acquisition from
affiliates of Medical Capital Corporation of Anaheim, CA. The Company obtained a
$50 million acquisition loan and a working capital non-revolving line of credit
of up to $30 million from Medical Provider Financial Corporation II (the
"Lender"). Each of OC-PIN and PCHI guaranteed the Company's obligations under
these credit agreements, and PCHI subordinated to the Lender its rights to
receive payments from the Company. The Company also sold its accounts receivable
associated with the Hospitals to Medical Provider Financial Corporation I.

      In connection with the transactions described above, the Company, OC-PIN
and/or PCHI entered into a number of material agreements as follows:

      o     Second Amendment to Asset Sale Agreement, effective as of January 1,
            2005, between the Company and subsidiaries of Tenet Healthcare
            Corporation.

      o     Third Amendment to Asset Sale Agreement, effective as of March 8,
            2005, between the Company and subsidiaries of Tenet Healthcare
            Corporation.

      o     Guaranty Agreement, dated as of March 3, 2005, by OC-PIN in favor of

            Company, the Subsidiaries, PCHI and the Lender.
