Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center is a for-profit hospital in Reno, Nevada. It is owned and operated by Prime Healthcare Services.

History[edit | edit source]

The Dominican Sisters of San Rafael opened Sister's Hospital in 1908. In 1912, a new facility was added and the hospital was renamed Saint Mary's Hospital. Additions have since been made at the original site, leading to today's Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center.

Saint Mary's became an affiliate of Catholic Healthcare West in 2006. However, the hospital experienced financial losses under CHW ownership. In 2012, it was sold to the for-profit Prime Healthcare Services.

Prime Healthcare Services has faced investigations by the United States Department of Justice for Medicare fraud.
