The Age of Medical Tourism An Interview with the Sampayo Brothers
CMI Medical Center is not your typical hospital development and brothers Patricio and Mauricio Sampayo are not your typical entrepreneurs either. Inspired by the “Medical City” concepts seen in Houston, Dallas and Austin the Sampayo brothers have managed to develop a budding 15 acre medical “shopping mall-like” campus in their hometown of Matamoros, Mexico- a five minute drive from Brownsville, Texas.
Hospital Centro Medico Internacional (CMI) is the 25-bed acute care hospital/surgical facility which anchors the U.S. style medical campus.
“CMI does offer very competitive pricing options for cash paying patients, which maybe of particular interest to the 47 million uninsured people currently living in the United States.”
