1. I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Integrated Healthcare
Holdings, Inc.;

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a

procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the

     (a)  designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
          material information relating to the registrant, including its
          consolidated, or caused such disclosure controls and procedure to be
          designed under our supervision, subsidiaries, is made known to us by
          others within those entities, particularly during the period in which
          this annual report is being prepared;

     (b)  evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
          and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the

          the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
          reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
          control over financial reporting; and;

5. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

     (a)  all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
          operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
          reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to
          record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

     (b)  any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
          employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
          controls over financial reporting.
