Doctors Hospital Marks 25 Years of Excellence with Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours Celebration

Doctors Hospital commemorated a significant milestone on Thursday evening, 15 May, hosting a special edition of the Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce’s Business After Hours to celebrate its 25th Anniversary. The event drew a vibrant crowd of Chamber members, healthcare professionals, and community leaders, all gathered to honour a quarter-century of exceptional, patient-focused care in the Cayman Islands.

Held at the hospital’s Middle Road location, the evening provided guests with an opportunity to network in a welcoming and upbeat atmosphere while reflecting on the hospital’s evolution and future vision. With refreshments flowing and conversations buzzing, the celebration underscored the hospital’s enduring presence and impact in both the healthcare and business landscapes of the Cayman Islands.

Chamber President Omari Corbin delivered the welcome remarks, praising Doctors Hospital as a long-standing pillar of the Chamber and a catalyst for progress in the region’s healthcare sector.

“Tonight is more than just a networking event,” Corbin said. “It’s a moment to recognise the journey of an institution that has touched the lives of thousands and continues to redefine what quality, patient-centred healthcare can look like in the Caribbean.”

Corbin highlighted the hospital’s growth from its founding in 2000 as Chrissie Tomlinson Memorial Hospital to its rebranding in 2021 as Doctors Hospital, noting its expansion into advanced, internationally accredited services across cardiology, oncology, neurology, and orthopaedics. He also praised the hospital’s adoption of telehealth, AI-driven diagnostics, and its leadership in sustainability as a certified Green Healthcare facility.

“Doctors Hospital is helping build a model where healthcare can be both economically sustainable and human-focused,” Corbin said. “You have been leaders. You have been innovators. You have been healers. Here’s to the next 25 years of growth, excellence, and impact.”

Dr. med Yaron Rado, Chairman of the Board and Chief Radiologist, reflected on the hospital’s proactive role in significant public health moments, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We didn’t wait to be asked to act,” he said. “Doctors Hospital stepped up with fast, reliable testing, protecting not just patients but the entire Island.”

Dr. Rado also spotlighted the hospital’s strategic investment in cutting-edge technology and paid tribute to its dedicated staff—”the true heartbeat” of the organisation.

The hospital’s founder, Dr. Steve Tomlinson, took the audience back to the early days of Cayman’s healthcare system, recalling the vision and persistence that shaped the hospital’s beginnings.

“I remember when there wasn’t even a doctor in the Brac,” he shared. “It’s been quite a journey since then.”

The evening was capped off with a look into the future, as Doctors Hospital outlined upcoming innovations and initiatives designed to elevate care quality further and expand community outreach. Several lucky attendees walked away with raffle prizes, further enhancing the celebratory atmosphere.

The Chamber extends its sincere congratulations to Doctors Hospital on 25 years of service and thanks them for hosting a memorable and meaningful Business After Hours.
