What Ashford Presbyterian Community Hospital does

Ashford Presbyterian Community Hospital (d/b/a Ashford Hospital) is a 175-bed private acute care hospital founded in 1904 and headquartered at 1451 Ashford Avenue in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The hospital operates approximately 20 medical specialties with around 250 physicians on staff and roughly 630 total employees, serving individual patients across San Juan and the broader Puerto Rico market. Service lines span a 24/7 emergency room, advanced diagnostic imaging (Radiology and Image Center with PET-CT, MRI, CT, digital mammography FDA-certified and ACR-accredited, and sonography), a Nuclear Medicine and Cardiology Center (SPECT, PET CT, MUGA), a clinical laboratory, a Level 3 NICU, surgical services, a Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center, a Wound Care program, an Ashford Prenatal Center directed by Annette Pérez-Delboy MD, a Women's Center, a Vaccination Center, and an on-site Community Pharmacy.

The hospital holds distinctive positions in the Puerto Rico market: it is ranked #1 for colorectal clinic and #1 for private hospital deliveries, operates the only private cardiac rehabilitation center on the island, and is the only hospital with technicians specialized in pelvic floor rehabilitation. Its Level 3 NICU is reported to save approximately 300 babies annually, and radiology results are delivered within 24 hours or less. Certifications include FDA certification and American College of Radiology (ACR) accreditation for digital mammography.

The business model is direct-to-consumer hospital services revenue, with patients and their insurance plans (Medicare, MCSClassic, Humana Gold, MMM, PMC, TSA, TRICARE, CHAMPVA, and commercial plans) as the counterparty base. Distribution is through the single San Juan campus plus an online medical directory, QR-code appointment booking, a 24/7 online payment portal, and active social media channels. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, though the hospital publishes charge lists consistent with U.S. price transparency requirements. The hospital operates as an independent, privately held institution with no disclosed parent company, private equity sponsor, or venture backing.
