St. Francis Medical Center is a for-profit hospital in Lynwood, California, United States, owned by Prime Healthcare Services.

As King-Harbor was long a major hospital for the city's sickest and poorest residents, the increase in uninsured and under-insured patients has put stress on the finances of the facility.

[6][7] As the hospital continued to lose money, the California Medical Association and the California Nurses Association supported Daughters of Charity Health System selling the facility to Prime Healthcare Services, though Service Employees International Union opposed the sale.

Prime Healthcare backed away from sale based on the terms set by Attorney General Kamala Harris.

In 2019, Verity agreed to sell St. Francis to KPC Group in Riverside for $420 million, but the deal was not completed.
