IASIS Healthcare® LLC ("IASIS") today announced the completion of its acquisition of a 79% ownership interest in St. Joseph Medical Center ("St. Joseph"), a 792 licensed bed facility in downtown Houston, Texas.

"We are pleased and privileged to welcome St. Joseph into our growing family of hospitals," said IASIS Healthcare President and Chief Executive Officer Carl Whitmer. "St. Joseph's long and celebrated history of providing compassionate, high-quality care combined with its highly skilled medical staff, well-established residency program and numerous teaching opportunities have served the residents of southeast Texas with distinction for nearly 125 years. Together with our physician partners, we look forward to using our proven operational strategies, advanced clinical information systems, comprehensive quality infrastructure and access to capital to build upon these honored traditions for many more years to come."

The addition of St. Joseph expands IASIS' Texas presence to five hospitals and 1,935 licensed beds.
