History
editThe founder of this center is Dr. Jose Hernandez Fujigaki, a cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon from California. Excel Hospital performed the first open heart surgery program in Baja California, Mexico. The increase of medical tourism in Tijuana as well as the demand for medical centers in the city have made the hospital transform into a multi-building medical center, currently consisting of Building A (tallest building, blue in color, has the name of the hospital at its top) and Building B (orange in color). Today, it remains as the largest, multispecialty private hospital in Tijuana. Its heart program has grown to be the strongest in northwestern Mexico.
Recent additions have turned it into a 22-story multi-building hospital and one of the largest medical centers in Tijuana. Due to its growth and the increasing demand for medical tourism and services in Tijuana, a third building (dubbed “Building C” as a placeholder) is currently under construction. The building is planned to have 34 stories for parking, doctor’s offices and more ancillary services for the medical community in the city when completed.
