Mission Regional Medical Center is not independent and is not documented as PE-owned. It is a nonprofit hospital in the Prime Healthcare Foundation system. A Texas insurer facility-based disclosure for 2024 claims identifies Rio Grande Valley Emergency Physicians for emergency medicine. NPPES identifies the active physician organization, and a Federal Reserve filing identifies physician Heriberto Alanis as its owner/president. Reviewed sources did not identify a PE sponsor.

Ownership & Control

Detailed records, kept below the answer

Nonprofit hospital ownership/control, Prime Healthcare system affiliation, and clinical-staffing contracts are separate layers.

Clinical staffing relationship, not hospital ownership.

  • Prime Healthcare Foundation nonprofit control is not private-equity ownership.
  • Prime Healthcare Services is a separate for-profit entity; CMS reports operational/managerial control at Knapp but only an OTHER association at Mission.
  • The insurer disclosure identifies facility-based physician groups for 2024 claims and does not expose every hospital vendor or contract term.
  • A location-only SCP Health job listing was not treated as a Mission Regional contract because it did not name the facility.
