Doctors Hospital has celebrated its 25th anniversary as a healthcare facility serving Cayman.
The milestone was marked in a Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours event on 15 May on the lawn of the hospital.
Hospital founder Dr. Steve A. Tomlinson, at the event, said, “When we opened our doors 25 years ago, we weren’t just building a hospital – we were building a vision for what healthcare in Cayman could be and for the community. Today, I’m proud to see that vision realized and carried forward with such passion and purpose.”
Dr. Yaron Rado, who is chairman of the hospital’s board, said that from the beginning, the facility’s mission has always been to provide cutting-edge care with a human touch.
“This celebration is not just about the past – it’s about our continued promise to lead the future of medicine in Cayman. This hospital is, in many ways, a reflection of my life’s work. And I know I speak for everyone who has ever worn a Doctors Hospital badge when I say – this place means something special. Not just as a workplace, but as a family. To my colleagues – past and present – thank you for your devotion. To our patients – thank you for your trust. And to our Caymanian community – thank you for letting us be part of your lives for 25 years.”
David E. Pellow, chief pharmacist; director of ancillary and support services; and board vice chairman, noted the collaborative spirit of Doctors Hospital.
“We are only as strong as the people who make up our hospital family. This 25-year legacy is a tribute to every physician, technician, nurse, and support team member who has walked our halls and touched lives with compassion.”
The evening was also marked by the unveiling of a plaque commemorating the hospital’s 25th anniversary.
