Mission Regional Medical Center Under State Investigation for Alleged Birth Tourism Advertising
· Texas Border Business
Mission Regional Medical Center is under investigation by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) after Governor Greg Abbott raised concerns about the hospital promoting 'Birth Packages in South Texas' to foreign nationals. Abbott's directive, issued in a letter on July 7, calls for a thorough inquiry into potential violations of state laws or contracts. He condemned birth tourism as an illegal practice that exploits U.S. hospitality and emphasized that American citizenship is not for sale. The investigation may lead to sanctions and further legal actions against the hospital, which has not yet responded to the allegations.
