Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

     (c)  Exhibits.

         99.1     Press Release dated May 3, 2004, and supplemental financial
                  information.


Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.


         The information in this Report,  including the Exhibit attached hereto,
is  furnished  pursuant  to Item 12 of this  Form 8-K.  Consequently,  it is not
deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934 (the  "Exchange  Act"),  or otherwise  subject to the  liabilities  of that
section.  It may only be  incorporated  by reference in another filing under the
Exchange Act or Securities Act of 1933 if such  subsequent  filing  specifically
references this Form 8-K.

         On May 3, 2004, IASIS Healthcare  Corporation (the "Company")  issued a
press release  announcing  its results for the fiscal second quarter ended March
31, 2004. For information regarding the results,  reference is made to the press
release dated May 3, 2004, and certain supplemental financial information, which
are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

         The press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of
Regulation  G,  a  non-GAAP  financial  measure  is  a  numerical  measure  of a
registrant's  historical or future financial performance,  financial position or
cash flows that excludes  amounts,  or is subject to  adjustments  that have the
effect of excluding amounts,  that are included in the most directly  comparable
measure  calculated  and presented in  accordance  with GAAP in the statement of
income,  balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent  statements) of
the issuer;  or includes  amounts,  or is subject to  adjustments  that have the
effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable
measure so calculated  and presented.  In this regard,  GAAP refers to generally
accepted   accounting   principles  in  the  United  States.   Pursuant  to  the
requirements  of Regulation G, the Company has provided  reconciliations  within
the press  release  of the  non-GAAP  financial  measures  to the most  directly
comparable GAAP financial measures.

         Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before interest  expense,  gain
on  sale  of  assets,  minority  interests,   income  taxes,   depreciation  and
amortization and write-off of debt issue costs.  Management routinely calculates
and  communicates  adjusted  EBITDA and believes  that it is useful to investors
because it is commonly used as an  analytical  indicator  within the  healthcare
industry  to  evaluate  hospital  performance,  allocate  resources  and measure
leverage  capacity  and debt  service  ability.  In  addition,  the Company uses
adjusted  EBITDA as a measure of performance  for its business  segments and for
incentive compensation  purposes.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a
measure of financial  performance under generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP),  and the items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant  components
in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not
be  considered  in  isolation  or as an  alternative  to net income,  cash flows
generated by operating,  investing,  or financing  activities or other financial
statement  data  presented  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  as  an
indicator of financial performance or liquidity.  Adjusted EBITDA, as presented,
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

         Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,
the  Registrant  has duly  caused  this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
