Tuesday March 8, 6:30 am ET
COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 8, 2005--Integrated Healthcare
Holdings, Inc. (IHHI) (OTCBB:IHCH - News) announced today that it has completed
the $70-million acquisition of four Orange County, California hospitals from
subsidiaries of Tenet Healthcare Corporation. The California Department of
Health Services recently indicated that it would approve IHHI's license to
operate the acute-care hospitals.
The company's outside financing arrangements include primary equity financing of
up to $30 million provided by Orange County Physicians Investment Network, LLC
(OC-PIN), a company founded by Dr. Anil V. Shah and owned by a number of
physicians practicing at the hospitals. In addition, OC-PIN has formed a real
estate holding company, which will own the real estate assets of the four
hospitals. Institutional funding provides the balance of the funds for the
acquisition, including working capital.
According to IHHI President, Larry Anderson, "We are committed to continuing to
serve the Orange County community by making a substantial investment in each of
these important acute-care hospitals. In addition, IHHI's streamlined management
and corporate structure provides us the flexibility to offer the employees,
physicians and patients a much higher quality of care and better working
environment at a lower cost".
Dan Brothman, former CEO of Western Medical Center, will become senior vice
president of IHHI with oversight responsibility for all four hospitals. The
remaining CEOs of all four hospitals will remain in their current positions.
IHHI does not anticipate any significant changes or reductions in staffing at
any of the four hospitals.
The four hospitals being acquired are: 282-bed Western Medical Center - Santa
Ana; 188-bed Western Medical Center - Anaheim; 114-bed Chapman Medical Center in
Orange; and 178-bed Coastal Communities Hospital in Santa Ana. Together these
hospitals represent 12.1% of all hospital beds in Orange County.

firm of Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, which specializes in healthcare transactional
law. SEC counsel was provided by Allen Sussman, from the Los Angeles office of
Morrison & Forester.
IHHI is also pleased to announce that effective March 7, 2005, Milan Mehta,
former HealthSouth Corporation vice president of Managed Care Contracts, has
