ABOUT THE HOSPITAL
Connecting North Americans with trusted hospital care
Hospital Ángeles Tijuana is part of the Ángeles Health International network — one of Mexico's largest private hospital groups, with campuses in major cities across the country. The Tijuana campus opened in 2006 and has since become the anchor medical institution for Zona Río, Tijuana's modern medical corridor.
Just 30 minutes from the San Diego border crossing, the hospital serves thousands of US and Canadian patients each year with the same level of care available at major American medical centers — at a fraction of the cost. Its dedicated international patient desk coordinates appointments, translation, and logistics for cross-border patients.
As a Consierto network anchor, Hospital Ángeles provides the conventional hospital infrastructure — operating rooms, ICU, laboratory, imaging — that supports all Consierto providers practicing in Zona Río.
