Over the years, El Centro Regional Medical Center has a rich tradition of caring. To this end, the Board of Trustees has authorized the building expansion and renovation project and is financing it through revenue bonds and the Building on a Legacy of Caring Campaign.

In total, they will meet the demands placed upon ECRMC in improving the medical services and the quality of life for everyone in the Imperial Valley.
