Health City Cayman Islands is a JCI accredited tertiary care hospital in the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory, specializing in chronic and acute cardiac, orthopedic, bariatric, neurological, and pediatric cases. The medical travel focused hospital has provided healthcare solutions to over 14,000 adult and pediatric patients who primarily reside in the Caribbean, Latin American, United States, and Canada. The 104 bed hospital is seen by the Government of the Cayman Islands as a key driver in the diversification of the country's economy and has gained its support.
Health City Cayman Islands was born from the vision of heart surgeon Dr. Devi Shetty and is supported by two major healthcare organizations.
Dr. Shetty serves as chairman of Narayana Health and oversees a network of 32 hospitals across India and the Cayman Islands. Ascension is the largest non-profit health system in the US and the world's largest catholic faith-based health system. to make high quality care accessible to all.
The 107,000 square foot facility, opened in February 2014, becoming the first advanced medical facility and tertiary care hospital in the Cayman Islands.
The 104-bed tertiary care hospital features a reinforced roof, walls, doors and windows and was built to withstand the rigors of a Category 5 Hurricane and shield all of its critical assets from flooding. There are back-up generators with built-in power redundancies that allow for 10 days of 100% power, independent of the grid; an advanced ventilation system that blocks potentially contaminated air from reaching beyond the rooms of infectious patients; a system that allows the hospital to create its own medical grade oxygen by pulling it out of the air and distilling it in-house; an automated air-conditioning that cuts energy consumption costs by monitoring foot traffic and only gives air where needed; and a solar farm that reduces the hospital's energy consumption by almost 50%.
The tertiary care hospital is located on 1283 Sea View Road, near High Rock in the East End District of Grand Cayman.
In 2016, Health City opened a Canadian satellite office located in Hamilton, Ontario. This office is staffed by local Canadian healthcare professionals that work closely with other in-country medical practitioners who want to move their patients off long waiting lists and refer them to Health City Cayman Islands for non-emergency procedures. Health City's Canadian office fields general inquiries about the Cayman Islands' hospital; coordinates phone consultations with Health City's physicians and patient care teams; secures travel arrangements and supports patients’ journeys to and from the Cayman Islands; and connects with Canadian healthcare providers and translation services where necessary to ensure continuity of care.
