In 1998, the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Peace opened the doors to the San Ignacio Mental Health Hospital. The institution was founded with the mission to guarantee dignified attention to any human seeking help for mental illness.
Our institution and work model allows us to handle the diversity of patients and their illness, ranging from anxiety disorders and depressive disorders to grave mental illness in a private, comfortable setting.
Since 1998…
- We have created a unique model of psychiatric hospitals based on the relationships between the patient’s family and society.
- We have successfully treated over 3,500 patients.
- Through our excellent results, we have earned the prestige of a hospital in the medical community.
