SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Champion Healthcare Corporation, Common Stock, $.01 
Par Value) File No. 1-5356

August 12, 1996.
    Champion Healthcare Corporation (``Company'') has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to 
withdraw the above specified security (``Security'') from listing and 
registration on the American Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, it has complied with Rule 18 of the Amex 
by filing with such Exchange a certified copy of preambles and 
resolutions adopted by the Company's Board of Directors authorizing the 
withdrawal of its securities from listing on the Amex and by setting 
forth in detail to such Exchange the reasons for such proposed 
withdrawal, and the facts in support thereof. In making the decision to 
withdraw the Securities from listing on the Amex, the Company 
considered such factors, among others, as broadening the stockholder 
base, increasing the visibility of the Company, increasing the volume 
of shares traded and the requests made by certain of the Company's 
significant stockholders.
    Any interested person may, on or before September 3, 1996, submit 
by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 
450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
exchanges and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
