World-Class Partner: Tenet Healthcare Sponsoring World Medical Tourism & Global Healthcare Congress

Hospital administrators, doctors and clinicians, government policy makers, employers, insurance executives, healthcare buyers and related travel and hospitality interests converge, Sept. 27-30, 2015, in Orlando, Fla.

Palm Beach Gardens, FL, June 26, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Tenet Healthcare Corporation, the nation’s second-largest hospital network, is sponsoring the 8th World Medical Tourism & Global Healthcare Congress, Sept. 27-30, 2015, in Orlando, Fla., the Medical Tourism Association® announced today.

“The potential to meet and establish partnerships with like-minded healthcare organizations, governments, insurance providers and international physicians interested in enhancing patient access to quality medical care is an opportunity we want to be part of,” said Caswell Walford, market director of International Strategies & Development, Florida Region, at Tenet Healthcare Corporation. “When new relationships are forged and existing ones are solidified, patients have more means to outstanding hospitals, excellent physicians and innovative technologies that may not always be available within their communities.”

In the last six years, Tenet has invested more than $600 million in advanced clinical systems to improve the patient experience. As one of the largest hospital networks in Florida, Tenet, which operates 80 general acute care hospitals, 18 short-stay surgical facilities and more than 400 outpatient centers in the United States, has become a destination of choice for international patients.

“For the increasing number of patients who seek treatment abroad, Tenet has added new meaning to the term world-class healthcare,” said Renée-Marie Stephano, President of the Medical Tourism Association®. “Our ongoing relationship with Tenet and its annual participation in the Congress is supported by evidence of the growing awareness of medical tourism and the number of patients who benefit from timely, affordable and first-rate healthcare services.”

The World Medical Tourism & Global Healthcare Congress attracts some 3,000 key stakeholders – hospital administrators, doctors and clinicians, employers, government policy makers, insurance executives, facilitators, and hospitality and tourism interests – from across the globe to share their experiences and identify and solve issues that bear significantly on the industry.
