Founded in 2001, Prime Healthcare has emerged as one of the nation’s largest award-winning health systems. Prime Healthcare was founded by Dr. Prem Reddy, a physician with a mission to transform hospitals, improve community healthcare, and provide patients with the best care.

Our philosophy is that all healthcare is local. Our 54 hospitals and more than 360 outpatient locations nationwide, including urgent care centers, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialty clinics, serve the unique needs of their communities while providing exceptional care with the strength and support of Prime Healthcare.

Through a physician-founded and patient-centered model, dedication to quality, evidence-based best practices, operational efficiency, and capital investment, Prime Healthcare is recognized among the best in the nation by Truven Health Analytics as a 10 Top and 15 Top Health System in the nation three times and was the only health system recognized with the prestigious 2021 John M. Eisenberg Patient Safety and Quality Award for addressing social determinants of health. Prime Healthcare ranks among the top 10 health systems in the nation for social responsibility and cost efficiency, according to the Lown Institute.

Since 2010, Prime Healthcare and the Foundation have provided more than $16 billion in charity care and uncompensated services, which is a testament to our strong commitment to social responsibility and ensuring access for those who need it most. We are stewards of a mission, which is to ensure communities have hospitals that provide the highest quality, affordable care. Through our work in health advocacy and chronic disease management, our clinical quality improvement initiatives, and the improvement of the experience of all we serve, we are deeply committed to offering and achieving higher levels of care for patients while working to decrease costs.

Prime Healthcare and the not-for-profit Prime Healthcare Foundation serve more than 600 communities across 15 states with more than 60,000 staff and affiliated physicians in Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Texas.
