MISSION – The Mission Regional Medical Center announced they signed a non-binding letter of intent with Prime Healthcare Foundation.

The purchase of the center by Prime Healthcare Foundation would ensure the center continues its not-for-profit mission of providing care and services to Hidalgo County, Starr County and other surrounding communities.

“Prime Healthcare is committed to continuing the 63-year legacy of Mission Regional Medical Center while upholding its traditions and ensuring the community is afforded the best patient care,” said Prem Reddy, MD., chairman, president and CEO of Prime Healthcare.

According to the letter of intent, Prime Healthcare Foundation would continue to operate Mission Regional Medical Center in a manner consistent with its historic mission.
