Item 8.01 Other Events

          On April 5, 2005, Orion HealthCorp, Inc. received a letter from the
          American Stock Exchange stating that it had reviewed Orion's plan of
          compliance, which was submitted on March 10, 2005, in response to an
          earlier letter received from the Exchange notifying Orion of its
          failure to comply with listing standards in connection with two
          issuances of common stock in 2003 and 2004 without advanced
          shareholder approval. The April 5th letter stated that the American
          Stock Exchange has granted the Company an extension of time to regain
          compliance with the continued listing standards. The Company will be
          subject to periodic review by Exchange staff during the extension
          period, which ends May 31, 2005. Failure to make progress consistent
          with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing
          standards by the end of the extension period could result in the
          Company being delisted from the American Stock Exchange. Pursuant to
          its compliance plan, the Company intends to submit the prior stock
          issuances for stockholder approval at the 2005 Annual Meeting of
          Stockholders.

          Attached is a copy of a press release issued on April 12, 2005, by
          Orion regarding the Exchange action. Also attached is a copy of the
          Exchange's April 5, 2005, letter to the Company.
