Hospital Zambrano Hellion TecSalud

Hospital Zambrano Hellion TecSalud is the newest and most technologically advanced hospital in the TecSalud health system, operated by Tecnológico de Monterrey — one of Latin America's top-ranked universities and a global leader in education and research. Opened in 2012 in the San Pedro Garza García municipality of Monterrey, this 180-bed facility was designed from the ground up to incorporate the latest advances in hospital architecture, medical technology, and patient-centered care. The hospital holds Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, affirming that every aspect of its operations — from clinical protocols and patient safety to facilities management and quality improvement — meets the world's highest healthcare standards. As part of the TecSalud system, Zambrano Hellion benefits from the university's research infrastructure, clinical trial capabilities, and commitment to evidence-based medicine. Monterrey's proximity to the US border — approximately 150 miles from the Texas border — provides exceptional accessibility for American patients. Monterrey International Airport offers direct flights from Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Patients from South Texas cities such as McAllen, Laredo, and Brownsville can reach Monterrey by car in under three hours. The cardiac sciences department is one of the most advanced in Mexico, performing complex cardiovascular procedures including coronary artery bypass grafting, minimally invasive cardiac surgery, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), cardiac catheterization, coronary angioplasty with drug-eluting stents, electrophysiology studies, and cardiac resynchronization therapy. The hybrid operating room enables image-guided cardiovascular interventions with the precision of advanced angiography combined with full surgical capability. Oncology at Zambrano Hellion provides state-of-the-art cancer care with surgical oncology, medical oncology utilizing the latest chemotherapy agents, immunotherapy (including checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapy referrals, and targeted molecular therapies), and radiation oncology with advanced linear accelerator technology. The hospital's university affiliation provides access to clinical trials and investigational treatments, offering patients options that may not be available at standard community hospitals. Cancer treatment costs are 40-60% lower than comparable US centers. Neurosciences represent one of the hospital's flagship programs, with a world-class neurosurgery team performing complex brain tumor resections, cerebrovascular surgery, functional neurosurgery for movement disorders (including deep brain stimulation), epilepsy surgery, and advanced spinal procedures. The neurology department provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment of stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, ALS, and neuromuscular disorders. State-of-the-art neuroimaging including 3T MRI, CT angiography, PET-CT, and intraoperative neuronavigation enhances diagnostic accuracy and surgical precision. Orthopedic surgery encompasses total joint replacement with robotic and computer-assisted navigation, sports medicine, arthroscopy, complex trauma reconstruction, and pediatric orthopedics. The hospital uses premium implant systems from international manufacturers, and joint replacement procedures cost 50-65% less than equivalent surgery in the United States. The robotic surgery center is among the most active in Mexico, utilizing the da Vinci surgical system across multiple specialties including urology (robotic prostatectomy, nephrectomy), gynecology (robotic hysterectomy), general surgery (robotic cholecystectomy, hernia repair), and thoracic surgery. The minimally invasive approach results in smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, less postoperative pain, and faster recovery. The organ transplant program performs kidney transplants and liver transplants with outcomes comparable to leading US transplant centers. The multidisciplinary transplant team manages patients from initial evaluation through surgery and long-term post-transplant follow-up. Transplant surgery at Zambrano Hellion costs approximately 60-70% less than in the United States. Bariatric surgery at Zambrano Hellion includes gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and revisional weight loss procedures. The program's academic approach emphasizes long-term metabolic outcomes, with comprehensive pre-surgical evaluation and lifetime follow-up. Gastroenterology provides advanced endoscopic procedures and management of complex gastrointestinal conditions. The fertility center offers assisted reproduction services backed by university-level research. Spine surgery treats herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative conditions, spinal tumors, and deformities with minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques. The hospital's advanced imaging capabilities, including intraoperative CT and fluoroscopy, enhance surgical precision for complex spinal procedures. International patients benefit from bilingual (English-Spanish) coordinators, transparent pricing, medical records coordination, airport transfers, and accommodation arrangements. The TecSalud brand is synonymous with innovation, academic rigor, and clinical excellence in Mexico. Hospital Zambrano Hellion TecSalud represents the pinnacle of Mexican healthcare — a JCI-accredited, university-affiliated, technologically advanced medical center that delivers world-class clinical outcomes at a fraction of US costs.
