We entered the U.S. market in 2015 in Florida under the Sanitas Medical Center brand, through a strategic alliance with GuideWell/Florida Blue. We rapidly expanded to Texas, New Jersey, Connecticut and Tennessee with like-minded health organizations such as HCSC/Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas and BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. We also have opened three dental practices in Doral, Cooper City & Plantation , Florida. The Sanitas model integrates healthcare services with social and community support to lower costs while improving quality and patient satisfaction, as well as provider satisfaction. With our insurance partners and the local communities, we’re building a healthcare system that is connected, aware and adaptive to patient needs. Our goal is to leverage decades of learning from our markets around the world to help address challenges in the U.S.

In 2020, we opened eight new medical centers in the Tennessee market in partnership with BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. These locations include four in the Memphis and four in the Nashville markets.

In addition to the expansion of Sanitas Medical Center, we finalized the purchase of Westchester General Hospital in Miami-Dade County, now known as Keralty Hospital Miami. This hospital has 125 general hospitalization beds, intensive care beds, surgery rooms, psychiatric units, gastroenterology, diagnostic support, 24/7 medical emergencies, clinical and pathological laboratory. It is the first hospital in the Keralty health ecosystem in the United States and adds more complex services that complement the outpatient services offered in South Florida.
