today announced the commencement by Foundation Health Corporation, its wholly
owned subsidiary (FHC), of a cash tender offer for any and all of the $125
million outstanding principal amount of the 7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2003 of FHC.

due February 15, 2003 as of 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 25, 1997,
plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable settlement date.

     Consummation of the tender offer is subject to the condition that at least
$62,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes are validly tendered and not

to terminate the Offer.  The settlement date for Notes tendered by 5:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on June 26, 1997, will be June 30, 1997.  The offer will

proposed amendments.  However, consummation of the offer is not subject to any

                         BEFORE MERGER-RELATED EXPENSES

     LOS ANGELES, June 17, 1997 -- Foundation Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE:FHS)
today reported results for the month of April, 1997.  This unusual reporting
period was created as a consequence of the April 1, 1997 pooling of interests
merger involving Foundation Health Corporation (FHC) and Health Systems
International, Inc. (HSI) which created FHS.

     Excluding the effects of merger-related expenses, net income for April was
$19.5 million or $.16 per share.

     The month's results include revenues of $637.3 million, $649.2 million in
expenses, an $11.9 million pre-tax loss, and a net loss of $7.6 million, or $.06
per share.  Included in April's expenses are $43 million in transaction costs
related to the merger described above.  Substantial additional merger-related
charges are expected to be reported as part of FHS's second quarter results.

     In addition, the company reiterated that its cash tender offer for any and
all of its FHC subsidiary's $125 million outstanding principal amount of the
7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2003
