               CRA MANAGED CARE AND OCCUSYSTEMS COMPLETE MERGER
                        TO FORM CONCENTRA MANAGED CARE(R)

BOSTON, Massachusetts and DALLAS, Texas (August 29, 1997) - CRA Managed Care,
Inc. (Nasdaq/NM: CRAA) and OccuSystems, Inc. (Nasdaq/NM: OSYS) today jointly
announced that the companies have completed their previously announced merger to
form Concentra(R) Managed Care, Inc. Stockholders of CRA Managed Care and
OccuSystems approved the merger at their respective special meetings held
earlier today.

     With the merger completed, Concentra's common stock will begin trading on
the Nasdaq National Market on Tuesday, September 2, 1997, under the new symbol
CCMC. ChaseMellon Shareholder Services has been appointed as Concentra's
Transfer Agent and will serve as the exchange agent.

     Concentra, which combines the strengths and market reach of the two leaders
in the field of occupational healthcare, is the nation's first fully integrated
managed care company focused on workers' compensation cost containment. With
operations in 49 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada, the Company
provides preventive services, first report of injury, primary care, specialist
networks, specialized cost containment services, and field case management for
worker's compensation as well as for the disability and automobile injury
markets.

     "We are gratified by the overwhelmingly positive vote on this merger by our
stockholders," commented Donald J. Larson, President and Chief Executive Officer
of CRA Managed Care and the new President and Chief Executive Officer of
Concentra. "With complementary businesses that address the full spectrum of
occupational healthcare, Concentra can bring a full solution to bear on costs
throughout the entire injury resolution process. By uniting our proprietary
primary care network with our other workers' compensation cost containment
services - particularly our field case management organization, we are strongly
positioned to deliver services across the continuum of care."

revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996, were approximately $350 million
with net income of $21 million. Concentra has a market capitalization of
approximately $1.1 billion.

         CONCENTRA(R) MANAGED CARE AGREES TO ACQUIRE VENCOR'S NETWORK
                       OF OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE CENTERS


BOSTON, Massachusetts (September 2, 1997) - Concentra Managed Care, Inc.
(Nasdaq/NM:CCMC) today announced that it has executed a definitive agreement to
purchase a network of 16 occupational medicine centers from Vencor, Inc.
(NYSE:VC). Specific terms of the cash transaction were not disclosed. The
acquisition is expected to be completed in early September following the
expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act and satisfaction of other customary conditions.

     The network of centers, which was part of Vencor's March 1997 acquisition
of TheraTx, Incorporated, provides occupational medicine services in five
states. Vencor, a long-term healthcare company with over $3 billion in annual
revenues, owns and operates a national network of hospitals, nursing centers and
contract service providers in 46 states.

     This acquisition expands the Company's network of occupational healthcare
centers to three new states and four new markets and is expected to add
approximately $23 million to Concentra's annual revenues. For the year ended
December 31, 1996, Concentra's revenues totaled $350 million with net income of
$21 million.

     Commenting on the announcement, Donald J. Larson, President and Chief
Executive Officer, said, "This acquisition provides us with a platform for
future growth in several strategic markets and states. The transaction includes
five occupational medicine centers in Atlanta, Georgia, three centers in Fresno,
California, and one center in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. In addition, we
gain a network of four centers in southeast Florida which are managed pursuant
to an agreement with Tenet Healthcare Corp. (NYSE:THC). The acquisition also
broadens our geographic coverage in Tucson, Arizona - a market where Vencor
owned three centers and where we previously had two locations through a joint
venture with Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation (NYSE:COL).

     "Acquisitions such as this, coupled with strong internal expansion, play an
important role in our growth strategy," he continued. "By achieving greater
density in the markets we serve, and by strategically entering attractive new
markets, we can provide broader geographic coverage for employers and enhance
our ability to work directly with insurers in exploring risk-sharing products to
contain workers' compensation costs."
