COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: Mission Regional Medical Center Mission Regional Medical Center

Mission Regional Medical Center (MRMC), a member of Prime Healthcare Foundation, has earned a reputation for being one of the most advanced and well-renowned hospitals in terms of technology and infrastructure.

As a community-based, non-profit hospital, MRMC lives by its mission and values every day as it serves the people of the Rio Grande Valley. Providing patients and families with the highest quality care is Mission Regional’s top priority, and every award we’ve received tells the story of a life touched by our physicians, nurses and staff.

Since joining Prime Healthcare Foundation in 2017, it is evident that MRMC has grown and improved at unprecedented rates. Alongside our sister hospitals, Harlingen Medical Center and Knapp Medical Center, being a member of Prime has heightened our standards and our service to all community members.

MRMC has received many awards and accolades. For the second year in a row, MRMC has received Fortune/IBM Watson Health’s “100 Top Hospital” recognition along with the Everest Award. The Everest Award recognizes MRMC’s rate-ofimprovement over the last five years.

Such recognition is only earned through hard work and endless commitment. Our hospital’s physicians and staff members work together to achieve a common goal of making our patients the number one priority.

MRMC is also a recipient of the Healthgrades 2021 Patient Safety Excellence Award. Healthgrades is recognized as the leading marketplace for connecting patients and providers. This distinction places MRMC in the top 5-10% of all short-term acute care hospitals reporting safety data as evaluated by Healthgrades.

MRMC’s latest technology acquisition is the introduction of the Nuclear Medicine Gamma Camera Scanner NM830. This state-of-the-art technology is the first of its kind in the Rio Grande Valley. This new scanner is capable of running diagnostic studies of body functions, such as cardiac studies, in a much shorter amount of time and with a higher-level image quality which is better for the patient. Such highquality images provide new and unique information that often cannot be obtained using past imaging procedures. This new piece of equipment is also capable of identifying disease in its earliest stages; something extremely beneficial to the safety of our patients.

Mission Regional Medical Center is proud to offer the best quality of healthcare. It is our privilege to treat patients with care close to home. We look forward to continuing our 65-year legacy of service today and for generations to come.
