World-class care
The origins of Doctors Hospital began in 2000 as a heartfelt endeavor by a local South Sound family to deliver a community-first culture of care. Today, that vision lives on. Now guided by a new team, it remains locally owned and operated as the Cayman Islands’ longest-serving private hospital. For 25 years, the healthcare group has continued to grow, innovate, and inspire.
Located off Smith Road, just on the edge of South Sound, Doctors Hospital provides care within easy reach of both residential communities and George Town’s business center. With a 24/7 urgent care department, diagnostic imaging services, laboratory testing, operating theaters, and inpatient rooms, Doctors Hospital offers care on par with regional tertiary centers. It is supported by more than 30 full-time and visiting consultants in fields such as emergency medicine, oncology, cardiology, orthopedics, internal medicine, rheumatology, obstetrics, gynecology and general practice.
Bringing innovation to the Cayman Islands
Doctors Hospital has introduced many firsts to Grand Cayman. In the early years, the hospital transformed breast health with the introduction of tomosynthesis and computer-assisted diagnostics, offering what many women called “a pain-free mammogram.” It was a breakthrough in early detection and a sign of things to come. Doctors Hospital continues to raise the bar for medical innovation in the Caribbean. Recent milestones include:
- A newly approved $5.5 million oncology block, enhancing local access to world-class cancer care.
- The arrival of ‘gold standard’ breast reconstruction surgery, previously unavailable on-island.
- Installation of a 512-slice CT scanner—the most advanced imaging system in the Caribbean.
- Introduction of MOLLI, a next-generation wire-free technology transforming breast cancer surgery.
Forming Cayman’s most comprehensive private healthcare group
In a landmark move for the network, Integra Healthcare joined forces with Doctors Hospital to create an unmatched continuum of care. Together, they offer the most complete private healthcare network in the Cayman Islands. It is one where patients experience coordinated services that span general practice, paediatrics, surgery, dermatology and advanced specialty care.
Integra Healthcare’s nearest location to South Sound is in the nearby Harbour Walk community. It serves as a multidisciplinary medical practice with services in pediatrics, , family medicine, , and psychiatry. Integra has gained a reputation for its modern facilities, efficient care pathways, and evidence-based approach to primary and specialty care. Its integration with Doctors Hospital offers easy referrals and shared patient records between sites.
These two facilities help support the healthcare infrastructure surrounding South Sound by setting the standard for how hospital-based services integrate into community care.
A focus on innovation
Doctors Hospital continues to invest in digital infrastructure, advanced EMRs, imaging technology, and cutting-edge diagnostics. These tools support faster diagnoses, stronger clinical decision-making, and a more integrated patient experience.
The hospital’s orthopaedic team offers advanced care for musculoskeletal injuries and joint-related conditions. Services are delivered in a state-of-the-art environment equipped with the latest technology, making care both efficient and precise.
Through Integra Healthcare, the group has introduced streamlined care pathways for chronic conditions, screening programs, and personalized care plans tailored to the needs of families and individuals.
Advancements in cardiac care, oncology, joint replacements, and diagnostics are helping to redefine what patients can expect from private medical care in the Caribbean. This emphasis on state-of-the-art equipment and internationally aligned protocols ensures that patients benefit from both high standards and expert healthcare, especially when compared to larger regional medical centers.
A community-driven approach to care
From hosting preventive care workshops and thought-leadership conferences, to partnering with local charities and investing in local talent, Doctors Hospital and Integra Healthcare serve more than just patients. They are part of the broader community fabric and help strengthen health literacy, access, and outcomes for residents. Both frequently collaborate with nonprofit organizations to deliver outreach programs and support early detection and prevention. This is seen in their efforts to support neighboring Caribbean nations with medical supplies after major hurricanes, backing sporting events like the Cayman Islands Rugby Men’s XV Tri-Series, and leading the COVID-19 response with a dedicated lab and drive-through testing site.
A healthcare ecosystem that supports economic growth
A strong medical infrastructure plays a vital role in attracting businesses, supporting commercial development, and sustaining a healthy population. Being close to trusted health care providers like Doctors Hospital and Integra Healthcare offers reassurance to employers, investors and families. As new medical services emerge, South Sound is positioned as a strategic location to reap the benefits while maintaining its quiet neighborhood appeal that’s just a short drive away from the innovation.
