What Hospital Parroquial de San Bernardo does

Hospital Parroquial de San Bernardo is a non-profit Catholic hospital (Fundaci\u00f3n de Beneficencia) operating in San Bernardo, Regi\u00f3n Metropolitana, Chile, since 1897. It is governed by a Council appointed by the Bishop of the Diocese of San Bernardo on behalf of the Archdiocese of Santiago and employs 408 staff. The hospital delivers a full secondary-care service portfolio: 24/7 adult, pediatric, and obstetric emergency care; an 8-bed ICU and 12-bed Intermediate Care Unit with continuous ECG, invasive and non-invasive pressure, pulse oximetry, capnography, and conventional and non-invasive mechanical ventilation; a Pensionado inpatient ward expanded to 52 shared beds; eight surgical theaters; obstetrics with two AIP integral birth rooms; and a neonatology service. Support units include a clinical laboratory, a 24/7 imaging department (CT scanner, mammography, Doppler, ultrasound, conventional radiology), cardiology, endoscopy with new 2026 facilities, pathology, blood bank, physiotherapy, and sample collection. A newly inaugurated Centro Diagn\u00f3stico Ambulatorio (CDA) opened in April 2025 with renovated infrastructure and updated technology for outpatient care, and patient-facing digital services include online appointment booking, online lab results, and budget inquiry forms.

The hospital serves the Province of Maipo, primarily the communes of San Bernardo, Calera de Tango, Buin, and Paine (~450,000 inhabitants). It accepts patients from all major Chilean payer channels: Fonasa in Modalidad Atenci\u00f3n Institucional (referred from primary care consultorios of the Servicio de Salud Metropolitano Sur) and Libre Elecci\u00f3n, Isapre, and private patients. A second revenue stream derives from long-standing teaching agreements with Universidad de los Andes (since 1990) and Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Chile (since 2014), through the hospital serves as a clinical training site for medicine, odontology, psychology, kinesiology, and nursing programs; this generates both direct income and pipeline benefits for clinician recruitment. The hospital is accredited by the Superintendencia de Salud with 95% compliance (November 2025), has no public pricing disclosures, and operates under ecclesiastical governance rather than traditional corporate ownership; no subsidiaries, M&A activity, or external funding rounds are reported.
