Item 5.  OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE


         On February 6, 2003, HEALTHSOUTH Corporation issued the following press
release:


                                                           FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
                                                                February 6, 2003

                    HEALTHSOUTH ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF SUBPOENA


BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - HEALTHSOUTH Corporation (NYSE:HRC) today announced that it
had received a subpoena from the United States Attorney's Office for the
Northern District of Alabama seeking production of various documents in
connection with an investigation. While the company has not been advised of the
nature or scope of the investigation, the types of documents requested suggest
that the investigation may focus on transactions by individuals in HEALTHSOUTH
common stock. Many of the documents requested have already been voluntarily
provided by the company to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company
expects to fully cooperate with the investigation, just as it has cooperated
with the previous request from the SEC.

"As we have said before, we do not believe that HEALTHSOUTH or anyone associated
with HEALTHSOUTH has done anything wrong. We have cooperated with all requests
for information from government authorities, and we will continue to do so,"
said Richard M. Scrushy, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
HEALTHSOUTH.

The company cannot now predict the course or outcome of the investigation or
whether additional information will be sought.

HEALTHSOUTH is the nation's largest provider of outpatient surgery, diagnostic
imaging and rehabilitative healthcare services, with approximately 1,800
locations in all 50 states, the United Kingdom, Australia, Puerto Rico, Saudi
Arabia and Canada. HEALTHSOUTH can be found on the Web at www.healthsouth.com.

Statements contained in this press release which are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the preceding
statement, all statements in this press release concerning or relating to the
nature or status of the investigation described are forward-looking statements.
In addition, HEALTHSOUTH, through its senior management, may from time to time
make forward-looking public statements concerning the matters described herein.
Such forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates based upon current
information, involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are made pursuant
to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. HEALTHSOUTH's actual results may differ materially from the results
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of
factors, including those identified in this press release and in the public
filings made by HEALTHSOUTH with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including HEALTHSOUTH's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2001 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and forward-looking statements
contained in this press release or in other public statements of HEALTHSOUTH or
its senior management should be considered in light of those factors. There can
be no assurance that such factors or other factors will not affect the accuracy
of such forward-looking statements.
