Item
                  5.03  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in
                  Fiscal Year.
On
        August
        8, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a new NASDAQ listing
        standard setting forth Direct Registration System ("DRS") eligibility
        requirements, which require listed companies to become DRS eligible by January
        1, 2008.  DRS enables investors to maintain securities electronically
        on the books of a transfer agent or issuer, and allows for the electronic
        transfer of securities.  To meet DRS Requirements, on July 24, 2007,
        the Board of Directors of Matria Healthcare, Inc. (the "Company") amended the
        Company's bylaws to allow for the issuance of uncertificated
        shares.
The
        Bylaws, as amended, are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and are incorporated
herein
        by
        reference.
