Prime Healthcare

Prime Healthcare is a physician-led health system and the fifth largest for-profit operator of its kind in the United States. Founded in 2001, it employs more than 60,000 staff and affiliated physicians across a network of 54 hospitals in 15 states and more than 360 outpatient locations. The organisation is the largest tax-paying operator of hospitals in California and has been recognised among the Top 10 health systems in the nation.

The system's work spans acute care hospital services, community-based outpatient care and value-based healthcare delivery. Its stated mission is to save and improve hospitals so they can continue to deliver compassionate, quality care to the communities they serve, with an emphasis on patient-centred practice and clinical excellence. Roles within the organisation therefore cover clinical, operational and administrative work across hospital and outpatient settings.

Access and social responsibility form a substantial part of its activity: since 2010, Prime Healthcare reports providing more than $16 billion in charity care and uncompensated services. Employees work within a value-based model focused on quality outcomes and affordability for patients across the United States.
