Health City Cayman Islands is a JCI[1] accredited tertiary care hospital in the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory.[2]
Background[]
Dr. Devi Shetty founded Health City Cayman Islands.[3]
History[]
The 107,000 square foot facility, opened in February 2014, becoming the first advanced medical facility and tertiary care hospital in the Cayman Islands.
Facility and Current Operations[]
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.[4]
Location and Satellite Offices[]
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.[5]
Sustainability and Conservation Efforts[]
In 2015, Health City's sustainability efforts resulted in 3.6 million gallons of water saved and 2.7 million gallons of sewage effluent was diverted from ground disposal.[6] A waste reduction and landfill diversion initiative, which included recycling and onsite medical waste treatment, was also introduced and yielded a result of 60% of total waste being diverted from landfills. In terms of electricity conservation, the Caribbean hospital's infrastructure includes a building management monitoring system, as well as an HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system diversification. The official conservation report showed that energy savings for 2015 were over 2 million Kwh saved, just under 145,000 gallons of diesel saved and 3.5 million pounds of carbon saved.[7]
