Mission Health is now a group of six hospitals and related medical facilities in Western North Carolina, the biggest of which is in Asheville.
HCA, a for-profit hospital chain, bought Mission Health for $1.5 billion in 2019.

Since then, complaints about Transylvania Regional Hospital have skyrocketed, though HCA has also faced criticism at many of the affected locations.
