ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;
APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

         On March 29, 2010, Integrated Healthcare Holdings, Inc. ("IHHI")
entered into amended and restated employment agreements (the "Amended Employment
Agreements") with each of Kenneth K. Westbrook, its President and Chief
Executive Officer, Daniel J. Brothman, its Chief Operating Officer, Steven R.
Blake, its Chief Financial Officer, J. Scott Schoeffel, its General Counsel, and
Jerry Kanaly, its Chief Accounting Officer (each, an "Executive" and
collectively, the "Executives"). The Amended Employment Agreements provide for
the following material amendments to each individual's original employment
agreement, effective April 1, 2010:

o     Each individual's employment was changed from an "at will" arrangement to
      a fixed term of employment of three years, commencing April 1, 2010, with
      automatic renewals for successive one year periods. IHHI or the Executive
      may only terminate the employment relationship during the final 120 days
      of the initial three-year period or one-year renewal periods, except for a
      termination by either party "for cause" (as defined in the Amended
      Employment Agreements). However, each of Messrs. Schoeffel and Kanaly may
      terminate his employment at any time prior to the end of the fixed term by
      providing 60 days prior written notice to IHHI, but may not terminate his
      employment early to join a competing hospital within a specified
      geographic area. In addition, the events allowing each Executive to resign
      "for cause" have been expanded to include a permanent relocation of his
      employment outside of Orange County, California.

o     The base salary of Mr. Westbrook was increased from $500,000 to $550,000
      per annum, effective February 1, 2010. The base salary of Mr. Schoeffel
      was increased from $325,000 to $340,000 per annum, effective April 1,
      2010. The base salary of Mr. Kanaly was increased from $300,000 to
      $315,000 per annum, effective April 1, 2010.

o     The Amended Employment Agreements provide for the establishment of annual
      performance targets for each individual by the Compensation Committee and
      the Executive within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year (March 31).
      Each Executive's annual bonus will be determined based on his achievement
      in reaching his individual performance targets.

o     The original employment agreements provided for payment of a severance
      package to each Executive upon a termination by the Executive "for cause"
      or termination by IHHI "without cause". The severance period has been
      increased from 12 months to 24 months (or 36 months during the first year
      of effectiveness of the Amended Employment Agreements in the case of
      Messrs. Westbrook, Brothman and Blake). The Amended Employment Agreements
      also provide for payment of severance in the event of (i) a termination of
      employment following a change of control of IHHI or (ii) a non-renewal of
      the Executive's employment by IHHI at the end of the fixed 3-year or
      1-year employment term. In the case of Messrs. Westbrook and Brothman, the
      right to receive severance terminates if the individual accepts employment
      with a competing hospital in a specified geographic area during the
      severance period.
