Affordable Cardiology Care for The Uninsured, Found in a Place You Hadn’t Thought Of
Monterrey, Mexico, September 11th, 2009
Cardiovascular Disease, one of the most common causes of death worldwide, gives people very little time before treatment. With healthcare costs in the United States continuing to rise at higher rates than inflation, tens of thousands of Americans are being doomed each year in their ability to face these expenses. Both the short time to come up with the money, and the very high cost of treatment, bring a growing conflict between illnesses and citizens. This population faces a choice between giving up life or economic wellbeing for their loved ones. Even though the uninsured population is a huge issue the U.S. must solve, an escape valve for some is being found abroad.
As a primary Medical Travel destination, Monterrey, Mexico counts with internationally accredited hospitals and top-notch doctors that are increasingly treating foreign patients for everything ranging from a plastic surgery to cancer. Gabriel Senior, CEO of Travel for Care, a local medical travel facilitator states that “There is a substantive lack of knowledge by U.S. patients and their families about high quality, low cost alternatives nearby. Monterrey is a practical solution that offers patients and their families a close, simple, all-encompassing approach to their needs with very affordable prices and the same high quality service that one would expect at a top hospital in the U.S.”
Hospital San Jose TEC is one of the central players in Monterrey’s healthcare system. At its Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine Institute, they offer inexpensive cardiovascular care which counts on a team of US-trained specialists and state-of-the-art technology. With prices for surgeries like a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft starting at less than $18,000 and for diagnostics like a CT Angiogram at less than $1,100, top cardiovascular care in Monterrey is between a third and a fourth of that in the U.S. A city which not many Americans are familiar with today, is on track to provide one of the solutions sought by the nation debating this difficult issue.
Hospital San José TEC de Monterrey is one of Monterrey's best regarded healthcare institutions, accredited by the Joint Commission International, and part of the Monterrey TEC, Mexico's largest private education system. For more information, please visit www.hsj.com.mx

It is led by Dr. Guillermo Torre, MD and is housed within the Hospital San Jose TEC complex.
