About UC CHRISTUS

UC CHRISTUS is the most important private healthcare network in the country. It is also a broad clinical field where the doctors and other health professionals of tomorrow are trained. In 2013, the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile partnered with CHRISTUS Health, one of the 10 largest health institutions in the United States and belonging to the Order of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, with the purpose of expanding its health network both in Chile and Latin America. Approximately 30,000 people work in the organization, including more than 9,500 doctors. UC CHRISTUS has 11 medical centers, including 3 family health centers operating in highly vulnerable areas in the Metropolitan Region. Additionally, it has an extensive network of sample collection units for laboratory tests, a hospital, and two clinics. Nearly a thousand doctors and more than four thousand people dedicate their work to caring for people's health. Our commitment is to deliver world-class medicine in a patient and family-centered care model. In each of our actions, we seek to promote a culture of quality and safety and the constant development of our staff, as well as to be a model clinical field for the training of excellent professionals.
