About Satori World Medical

With the rising cost of health care within the United States quite apparent, Satori® World Medical offers people an alternative approach to arranging medical treatment. The company, headquartered in San Diego, California, and led by President and CEO Steven Lash, relies on a global network of hospitals to help reduce the cost of health care for individuals, insurers, employers, and financial sponsors. Through its Quality Assurance Program™, Satori World Medical seeks out the finest facilities around the world to minimize the economic burden on patients. The network offers medical services in Thailand, India, Costa Rica, Mexico, Singapore, Canada, and several other countries. With its approach, the company continues to serve as a leader in the globalization of health care. As medical and technological improvements are made throughout the world, many countries can offer advanced medical care without an inflated price. Satori World Medical takes advantage of this reality through its Health & Shared Wealth Program™. The company boasts a savings of 40-80% on surgical procedures compared to traditional domestic options. The cost includes airfare, hospital and physician fees, hotel accommodations, foreign ground transportation, and a personal accident insurance policy for the patient and a companion. Employers can share these savings with their employee (the patient) through options such as depositing a portion of the savings into a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) or providing meal per diems while the patient is traveling for surgery. Utilizing an HRA allows for reimbursement to an employee for qualified medical expenses and can be compatible with a qualified Health Savings Account or other model. In addition to cost savings, Satori World Medical strives to provide comprehensive customer service. Through the use of technology and highly trained staff, the firm offers patients an uncomplicated route for scheduling and receiving treatment. After a patient registers via its website or calls, a Nurse Patient Advocate from Satori will make contact to discuss the entire medical treatment process. Next, a Travel Care Coordinator will arrange all logistics of travel and the procedure. Once the date has arrived, patients will be greeted at the airport, escorted to the hotel, and checked in to the hospital the following day. Finally, once the procedure is completed and travel is authorized, patients will return home and consult with their local physician.

Healthcare delivery, as much as it is becoming increasingly sensitive, is also becoming more quality-oriented. This is the reason why Satori World Medical remains firmly grounded in its commitment to provide access to quality care for patients. The company’s quality assurance program, through the leadership of Satori’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ron Johnson, has established the following criteria for the International Centers of Excellence to uphold:


• Accreditation by Joint International Commission (JCI). A JCI Accreditation guarantees that hospital protocols and practices equal or exceed US standards.

• Surgeons have US or UK Board certifications and have equivalent training. Some doctors under the Satori Global Network™ are considered to be world leaders in their respective sub-specialties.

• Use of cutting-edge technology. The technical aspect of care is also predictive of treatment regimen results. Using the most modern equipment usually results in better outcomes and less complications.

• English-speaking medical and nursing staff. Satori World Medical recognizes the value of effective communication in the achievement of treatment goals.

• Nurse-to-patient ratios that exceed US standards. Great care is taken to ensure that patients are given due attention during their entire hospital stay.

• Faithfulness in running quality monitoring systems. This ensures superior outcomes, which further translates to patient satisfaction.

• Consistency in high surgical success rates. There must be documented proof that clinical outcomes are comparable or surpass that of published US outcomes.

One discretionary criterion is a hospital’s affiliation with prestigious US hospitals and medical schools, such as Johns Hopkins University, Harvard Medical School, Columbia University Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and Mayo Clinic.


Due to Dr. Johnson’s diligence in enforcing these benchmarks, Satori World Medical has ensured that its international providers are some of the world’s best. To learn more about Satori’s services, visit www.satoriworldmedical.com.
