Podcast Show Notes

Our podcast discussion today between Michael Andrade and Shomari Scott Director of Business Development, Marketing, Sales and Communications at Health City Cayman Islands. In our interview we discuss Health City founding, the philosophy of their care delivery, and the amazing outcomes they’re able to deliver. This little hospital in just south of Miami has one of the best outcome ratings for quality in the western hemisphere and costs that are at or near medicare (which means roughly 1/3 the cost if the service were delivered in the US.)
