                                   FORM 8-K

     On June 5, 2000, Hooper Holmes, Inc. ("the Company") filed a Form 8-K
describing the terms of a Rights Agreement ("Rights Agreement") adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Company on May 23, 2000 (the "Form 8-K"). The exercise
price of the Rights was inadvertently stated in Item 5 to be $100 (as adjusted)
whereas the exercise price is $110 (as adjusted), as set forth in the Rights
Agreement, which was included as Exhibit 4.1 Accordingly, Item 5 to the Form 8-K
is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to reflect this correction.

Item 5.   Other Events

     On May 23, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Rights
Agreement ("Rights Agreement") to replace the Company's current Rights Agreement
which expires on June 16, 2000.  The Board of Directors declared a dividend of
one Common Share Purchase Right on each outstanding share of the Company's
Common Stock.  The dividend is distributable on June 30, 2000 to shareholders of
record on June 16, 2000.

     The Rights Agreement was not adopted in response to any known effort to
acquire control of the Company.  Rather, the Rights Agreement was adopted in an
effort to ensure that all of the Company's shareholders are treated fairly in
the event an attempt is made to take over the Company without paying all
shareholders a full and fair price for all of their shares.

     Until a person or group acquires 20% or more of the Company's Common Stock
or announces a tender or exchange offer to acquire a 30% or more of the
Company's Common Stock (other than a Permitted Offer), the Rights will be
evidenced by the Common Stock certificates, will automatically trade with the
Common Stock and will not be exercisable.  Thereafter, separate Rights
certificates will be distributed.  If (i) any person or group acquires 20% or
more of the Company's Common Stock (other than by a tender offer for all shares
which the Company's Board of Directors determines to be in the best interests of
the Company and its shareholders, or by an inadvertent acquisition after which
such person or group promptly divests a sufficient number of shares so that such
person's ownership is less than 20%) or (ii) the Company is involved in a merger
or other business combination or sells more than 50% of its assets or earning
power, each Right (other than Rights beneficially owned by 20% or more
shareholders or certain transferees thereof, which Rights become void) will
entitle the holder, upon payment of the exercise price of $110 (as adjusted), to
buy a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company or of the acquiring
company having a market value of twice the exercise price.  If any person or
group acquires between 20% and 50% of the Company's Common Stock, the Company's
Board of Directors may, at its option, exchange each Right for a share of
Company Common Stock.

     The Rights Agreement will expire on June 15, 2010.  In addition, the Rights
may be redeemed for $0.01 per Right on or prior to the tenth day after any
person or group acquires 20% or more of the Company's Common Stock, thus
clearing the way for an acquisition which the Board believes to be in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders.
