ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On January 10, 1997, Home Health Corporation of America, Inc. (the "Company")
acquired from Mark O'Brien and LHS Holdings, Inc. ("LHS") certain assets, 
subject to certain liabilities, of LHS and its subsidiaries Liberty Health 
Services, Inc. ("Liberty") and Nurses Today M/C, Inc. ("Nurses Today"), 
providers of primarily Medicare-reimbursed nursing and related patient 
services with $14.7 million in net revenues for the twelve month period 
ended June 30, 1996 and operations in Texas.  The acquisition of these 
companies was effective January 1, 1997 and the consideration was comprised
of $2.0 million in cash, which was funded through borrowings under the 
Company's senior credit facility.  

Additionally, in connection with this acquisition, the Company signed a 
definitive agreement to acquire from Mark O'Brien, sole stockholder of LHS, 
certain assets, subject to certain liabilities, of PDN, Inc. ("PDN") and 
Med IV, Inc. ("Med IV"), affiliates of LHS (collectively with LHS, Liberty, 
and Nurses Today, the "LHS Acquisition"), and providers of primarily 
pediatric nursing and infusion therapy services with $1.3 million in net 
revenues for the twelve month period ended June 30, 1996.  The acquisition of
PDN and Med IV is expected to close by April 30, 1997.  The aggregate 
consideration payable for these two companies is approximately $7.1 million,
including an estimated contingent amount of $2.7 million based upon four and
one-half times the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and 
amortization of these two companies. The aggregate consideration, excluding
the contingent amount,is comprised of approximately $3.1 million in cash,

stock.  These acquisitions will be accounted for as a purchase.
