MIAMI, Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Las Mercedes Medical Centers announced today its acquisition of Pasteur and Wellmax Medical Centers, one of the largest Medicare-focused staff model medical centers in South Florida. With this acquisition, Las Mercedes Medical Centers will now serve over 22,000 elderly members across 26 facilities in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.

With this expansion, Las Mercedes Medical Centers solidifies its leadership as a premier healthcare provider for South Florida's elderly, particularly within the Hispanic community. The acquisition allows Las Mercedes to continue delivering its hallmark compassionate, patient-centered care while enhancing healthcare access for a growing senior population throughout South Florida. As part of this transaction, Pasteur and Wellmax's 700+ associates will join Las Mercedes, further strengthening its capacity to deliver high-quality care across its expanded network.
