Regional Medical Center acquisition update

Regional Medical Center (RMC) serves as the leading emergency healthcare provider for East San José, treating a wide range of critical and life-threatening conditions. In August 2024, HCA Healthcare downgraded the level of trauma, comprehensive stroke, and certain cardiac services (STEMI) at RMC.  

On January 13, 2025, the County of Santa Clara and HCA Healthcare reached an agreement for the County to purchase Regional Medical Center and integrate the hospital and its services into the Santa Clara Valley Healthcare (SCVH) system. The County expects to assume operations of the hospital on April 1, 2025. 

SCVH plans to restore Level II trauma care immediately once it assumes hospital operations. STEMI heart attack and comprehensive stroke services will be added shortly thereafter. Labor and Delivery services are also expected to be restored at a later date as these services were closed at RMC in 2020.
