  This information statement (the "Information Statement"), which is being
mailed on or about November 17, 1998 to the holders of shares of the common
stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Intensiva HealthCare
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is being furnished in
connection with the anticipated designation by Select Medical of Mechanicsburg,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser") and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Select Medical Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), of persons (the
"Purchaser Designees") to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board").
Such designation is to be made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of November 9, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement") among the Company, Parent
and Purchaser. Terms not defined in this Information Statement shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.
 
  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Purchaser commenced a cash tender offer on
November 17, 1998 to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares (the
"Shares") of Common Stock at a price of $9.625 per Share, net to the seller in
cash, without interest, as described in Purchaser's Offer to Purchase dated
November 17, 1998 and the related Letter of Transmittal (which Offer to
Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal together constitute the "Offer").
The Offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on
Tuesday, December 15, 1998, unless extended (the "Expiration Date"). The Offer
is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) there being validly tendered and
not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date that number of Shares which, when
added to the Shares beneficially owned by Parent (if any), constitutes at least
ninety percent of the Shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis (the "Minimum
Condition") and (ii) all applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, having expired or been
terminated. The Offer is also subject to the other conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase. Purchaser has reserved the right (subject to the terms of
the Merger Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")) to waive or reduce the Minimum Condition
and to elect to purchase, pursuant to the Offer, fewer than the minimum number
of Shares necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition; provided that, without
the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser may not waive or reduce the
Minimum Condition to less than two-thirds of the outstanding Shares on a fully
diluted basis.
<PAGE>
 
  The Merger Agreement also provides for the merger (the "Merger") of Purchaser
with and into the Company as promptly as practicable after consummation of the
Offer and satisfaction or waiver, if permissible, of all conditions, including
the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer. Following the consummation of the
Merger (the "Effective Time"), the Company will be the surviving corporation
(the "Surviving Corporation") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. In the
Merger, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time (other than Shares held in the treasury of the Company or by Parent,
Purchaser, or any indirect or direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent or
the Company, all of which will be cancelled, and other than Shares, if any,
held by stockholders who have perfected rights as dissenting stockholders under
the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law")) will be converted
into the right to receive cash in an amount of $9.625 per Share.
 
RIGHT TO DESIGNATE DIRECTORS; THE PURCHASER DESIGNEES
 
  The Merger Agreement provides that concurrently with the purchase by
Purchaser of Shares pursuant to the Offer, and from time to time thereafter,
Purchaser shall be entitled to designate up to such number of directors,
rounded up to the next whole number, on the Board to give Purchaser
representation on the Board that equals the product of the total number of
directors on the Board (giving effect to the election of any additional
directors pursuant to the Merger Agreement) multiplied by the percentage that
the aggregate number of Shares purchased by Purchaser in the Offer bears to the
total number of outstanding Shares then outstanding, and the Company shall, at
such time, promptly take all actions necessary to cause Purchaser's designees
to be appointed as directors of the Company, including increasing the size of
the Board or securing the resignations of incumbent directors or both.
 
  Following the election of designees of Purchaser pursuant to the Merger
Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, any amendment of the Merger
Agreement or the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, any
termination of the Merger Agreement by the Company, any extension by the
Company of the time for the performance of any obligations or other acts of
Parent or Purchaser or any waiver of any of the Company's rights thereunder
shall require the concurrence of a majority of the directors of the Company
then in office who neither were designated by Purchaser nor are employees of
the Company (the "Independent Directors"), or if there is only one Independent
Director, the concurrence of such Independent Director. The Company has agreed
to use its best efforts to ensure that at least one Independent Director remain
on the Board until the Effective Time.
 
  The terms of the Merger Agreement, a summary of the events leading up to the
Offer and the execution of the Merger Agreement and other information
concerning the Offer and the Merger are contained in the Offer to Purchase and
in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 of the Company
(the "Schedule 14D-9") with respect to the Offer, copies of which are being
delivered to stockholders of the Company contemporaneously herewith. Certain
other documents (including the Merger Agreement) were filed with the SEC as
exhibits to the Schedule 14D-9 and as exhibits to the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1 of the Purchaser and Parent (the "Schedule 14D-1"). The exhibits
to the Schedule 14D-9 and the Schedule 14D-1 may be examined at, and copies
thereof may be obtained from, the regional offices of, and public and reference
facilities maintained by, the SEC (except that the exhibits thereto cannot be
obtained from the regional offices of the SEC) in the manner set forth in
Sections 8 and 9 of the Offer to Purchase.
 
                                       2

  The Company has been informed that the Purchaser will obtain all funds
required by Purchaser to consummate the purchase of Shares in the Offer and the
Merger (currently estimated to be $130 million) from Parent in the form of
capital contributions and/or advances. Parent has obtained commitments from
certain of its existing stockholders to invest an amount of up to $130 million
in debt and equity securities of Parent, which commitments are subject to, and
will be funded at the time of, the acquisition by Parent or Purchaser of at
least a 90% interest in the Company at a price per Share not to exceed $9.625
in cash in either a tender offer or merger. Parent plans to obtain a
significant portion of the funds for such capital contributions or advances
required to purchase the Shares from a portion of the aforementioned investment
commitments by its existing shareholders and from borrowings under credit
facilities that Parent will seek to obtain from commercial banks and other
financing sources.
 
  No action is required by the stockholders of the Company in connection with
the election or appointment of the Purchaser Designees to the Board. However,
Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), requires the mailing to the Company's stockholders of the information
set forth in this Information Statement prior to a change in a majority of the
Company's directors otherwise than at a meeting of the Company's stockholders.
 
  The information contained in this Information Statement concerning Parent,
Purchaser and the Purchaser Designees has been furnished to the Company by such
persons, and the Company assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or
completeness of such information. The Schedule 14D-1 indicates that the
principal executive offices of Parent are located at 4718 Old Gettysburg Road,
P.O. Box 2034, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055 and that the principal offices
of Purchaser are located at c/o Select Medical Corporation at 4718 Old
Gettysburg, P.O. Box 2034, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055.

MATERIAL CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
 
  The Company has entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs.
Cross, Lewis, and Keefe, all of which expire in 2001. All such agreements
provide for discretionary bonuses. Pursuant to Messrs. Cross' and Lewis'
employment agreements certain notes made by each of them and acquired by the
Company from RehabCare Group, Inc. were forgiven on September 22, 1997. All
such agreements provide for severance benefits if the Company terminates
employment without cause (as defined in the agreements). Such severance
benefits are equal to one year's salary in the case of Messrs. Lewis and Keefe,
and two years' salary in the case of Mr. Cross. All of the agreements provide
that the employee will not compete with the Company for twelve months following
termination of employment.
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
 
  The purpose of a compensation committee is to consider the levels and
components of executive compensation relative to those generally available in
its marketplace in the context of the overall long-term objectives of the
Company and its stockholders. By maintaining appropriate balance in these
factors, the Compensation Committee believes that it will be most effective in
attracting and retaining well-qualified executives who will be capable of
contributing to the success of the Company.

  The paramount objective of the Company is building the long-term value of the
stockholders' investment within the framework of operating the Company in a
safe and sound manner. This is accomplished by achieving substantial
improvements and consistency in earnings and strengthening the Company's
presence in new markets. Consequently, the compensation of executives should be
structured to attract individuals capable of contributing to the achievement of
these objectives and to align the welfare of those individuals with that of the
stockholders.
 
  The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the various components of the
Company's executive compensation programs as outlined below:
 
  Base Salary. In determining the appropriate base salaries of its executive
officers, the Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of the Company,
considering general business and industry conditions, among other factors, and
the contributions of specific executives toward that performance. The
Compensation Committee also evaluates each officer's areas of responsibility
and the Company's performance in those areas. Finally, the Compensation
Committee considers the level of compensation paid to comparable executives by
other companies of comparable size in its industry and marketplaces.
 
  Bonus. The Compensation Committee may elect to award bonuses to selected
executive officers based largely upon the same criteria as the evaluations of
base salaries, emphasizing the need to maintain competitive compensation
packages and the desire to recognize outstanding performance by the officers.
 
  Stock Option Program. The Compensation Committee recognizes that one way to
align the interests of the Company's senior employees with those of its
stockholders is the encouragement of ownership of Company stock through stock
options granted under its Employee Stock Option Plan. Under this plan, senior
employees are eligible to receive stock options from time to time, giving them
the right to purchase shares of Common Stock at a specified price in the
future.
 
           COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCK AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
  There were no Compensation Committee interlocks or insiders participation
during 1997.
 
                            SECTION 16(A) REPORTING
 
  Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act ("Section 16(a)") requires the Company's
directors and Executive Officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of
a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the SEC
initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common
Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Executive officers, directors
and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to
furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.
 
  To the Company's knowledge, based solely on the Forms 3 (Initial Statement of
Beneficial Ownership of Securities), Forms 4 (Statement of Changes in
Beneficial Ownership), and Forms 5 (Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial
Ownership) filed with the Company, no persons failed to file any such form in a
timely manner, except that Mr. Steffy filed a Form 4 for his May 1998
transactions on July 10, 1998.
