Medical tourism is a growth industry that offers a significant opportunity for U.S. healthcare providers. “With an estimated eight million patients traveling cross-border worldwide every year, each spending thousands on not just medical care, but transportation, accommodations, etc., we’re talking about a marketplace that easily generates $24 to $40 billion annually.

I have followed Patrick’s work in the medical tourism marketing space for the past few years and was fortunate enough to see him present at the World Medical Tourism Congress last year in Miami. He understands the business better than most, and there is a lot that Las Vegas medical providers can learn from Patrick. Partners like Patrick Goodness will help us position Las Vegas as the most globally recognized destination for health and wellness travel.”
