Mennonite Health System

What Mennonite Health System does

Sistema de Salud Menonita is a nonprofit, integrated healthcare system headquartered in Cayey, Puerto Rico, founded in 1944 by Mennonite missionaries in Aibonito. It operates seven hospitals (six acute care and one mental health), six family health centers, and 21+ outpatient facilities across the island, totaling 981 beds, 11 emergency departments, 11 imaging centers, and 11 clinical laboratories. The system employs approximately 4,200 staff plus 700 physicians and serves more than 1.2 million patients, making it one of the largest private healthcare networks in Puerto Rico.

The system's clinical product spans the full continuum: acute hospital services, mental health (CIMA Menonita, 61 mental health beds plus 5 partial-hospitalization clinics and 7 outpatient clinics), cardiovascular care (730+ TAVR procedures, 100+ Micra pacemaker implants, 100+ Watchman devices), bariatric surgery (4,000+ procedures since 2001, the only consistently ACS-accredited program on the island), neurosciences and stroke management (the only Comprehensive Advanced Stroke Center in Puerto Rico, using the first Artis Icono Biplane in Latin America), robotic surgery (Da Vinci 5, first in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, backed by a $20M investment), wound and ulcer care, diagnostic imaging with 3D tomosynthesis biopsy, and home health. AI-enabled imaging is applied in mammography and stroke radiology.

The business model combines fee-for-service hospital and ambulatory care with an owned health insurance plan, Plan de Salud Menonita, creating an integrated payer-provider model. The system is governed by a 13-member Board of Directors, led by CEO Ricardo Hernández Rivera, CPA, and is funded by operating revenue, FEMA post-hurricane grants (e.g., ~$14M for disaster resilience), and government collaboration on medical education. It is expanding through ACGME-accredited Internal Medicine and Family Medicine residency programs launching July 2025, partnerships with the Puerto Rico Department of Health, and continued island-wide facility expansion, while pursuing premier Joint Commission, ACC, ACS, and SRC accreditations that anchor its clinical positioning.
