             CONCENTRA OPERATING CORPORATION TO REDEEM $47.5 MILLION
                      OF ITS 13% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

         ADDISON, Texas, June 26, 2002 - Concentra Operating Corporation
("Concentra") today announced that it intends to redeem $47.5 million of its 13%
Series A and Series B Senior Subordinated Notes, pursuant to the provisions of
the Indenture. The redemption represents 25% of the $190 million of currently
outstanding notes, which were issued in 1999 in connection with Concentra's
recapitalization. Concentra expects to complete the redemption on July 24, 2002.
The holders affected by the redemption will be notified by the Trustee, the Bank
of New York, as to the amounts to be redeemed from them, in accordance with the
Indenture.

         To facilitate the redemption, Concentra's parent company, Concentra
Inc., has borrowed $55 million in a bridge loan facility from Salomon Smith
Barney and Credit Suisse First Boston. The bridge loan facility has been
guaranteed by Concentra Inc.'s primary equity sponsor, Welsh Carson Anderson &
Stowe. The proceeds of the loan have been contributed to Concentra as equity to
fund the redemption and related transaction fees. The new debt has a term of two
years and requires no cash interest payments until maturity.

         In addition to benefiting the Company by lowering its level of
indebtedness, Concentra's redemption of the bonds will lower its interest
expense and the consolidated interest expense of its parent corporation,
Concentra Inc. Concentra chose to undertake this redemption in advance of the
deadline of August 15, 2002 set forth in the Indenture for a transaction of this
kind. "This refinancing step makes good financial sense for Concentra," said
Daniel Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer of Concentra. "It will
reduce the amount of debt we will carry at the operating company level, assist
us by lowering our total interest expense and will enhance the overall value of
our firm."

         In connection with their approval of the bridge loan and redemption
transactions, Concentra's lenders under its $475 million Senior Credit Facility
have also approved modifications to Concentra's financial covenants which allow
for more financial flexibility. These modifications provide for increased
leverage and decreased interest coverage requirements for the periods beginning
with the second quarter of 2002 and ending with the fourth quarter of 2004.
