Assembly Bill 918,, which is heading to Gov. Gavin Newsome’s desk, would turn El Centro Regional Medical, Pioneers Memorial Health and Heffernan into a single district. Pioneers Memorial Health believes that the measure lacks a funding mechanism, fails to create a singular system, will result in job losses, has high startup costs and creates unequal representation.
El Centro supports AB 918. “The creation of a single healthcare district in the Imperial Valley will benefit our residents with improved healthcare access, better Medical and MediCare reimbursements, and so much more,” El Centro Mayor Martha Cardenas-Singh said.
“Pioneers has taken a position of opposition towards AB 918 as the bill is premature,” a Pioneers statement said. “AB 918 attempts to create a county-wide healthcare district before any studies have been done regarding the feasibility of merging the two hospitals in the district and the funding required to support such a singular district.”
