San Vicente Fundación

What San Vicente Fundación does

San Vicente Fundación is a Colombian non-profit hospital foundation (Fundación Hospitalaria San Vicente de Paúl) operating two campuses in Medellín and Rionegro, Antioquia, with a track record of over 111 years. It runs three core hospital entities — Hospital Medellín, Hospital Rionegro, and Hospital Infantil — delivering high-complexity care across 70+ medical specialties and subspecialties, including transplant programs, neurosurgery, burn treatment (ISBI-certified Expert Center), bariatric and reconstructive surgery, advanced diagnostics, and a 24/7 pediatric hospital with educational continuity through the Aula Hospitalaria program.

Its underlying platform integrates a hospital information management system with a patient portal (Google/Facebook OAuth login), teleconsultation/telemedicine capabilities, integrated diagnostic imaging (radiography, ultrasound, CT, MRI, Doppler), a clinical laboratory information system, blood and tissue banking, and digital payment processing via PlacetoPay. The foundation runs an ecosystem of adjacent businesses: Educación San Vicente Fundación (virtual and hybrid medical education), San Vicente CES, medical publishing, podcasts (A Nuestra Salud, San Vicente Contigo), biomedical metrology services, and an internal staff portal (Rondanet).

The foundation generates revenue primarily through healthcare services billed to a diversified payer base — private insurance policies (pólizas), prepaid medicine plans (including Sura's Complementario), self-paying patients (particulares), and institutional contracts with EPM, Ecopetrol (Udea), and Sanidad Militar. Pricing follows a pay-as-you-go model per consultation (COP 149,300–207,700), with supplementary revenue from continuing education courses, medical publications, and ancillary services. International patients are served through a dedicated program, and the foundation maintains multi-channel patient acquisition (contact center, WhatsApp, online portal, in-person, telemedicine, and a structured referral system via the Centro de Operaciones Hospitalarias). It is overseen by Superintendencia Nacional de Salud and holds Icontec national health accreditation.
