About Panama
LIFE IN PANAMA IS GRAND
Panama is a country truly blessed. Less than three hours from the U.S., this tropical oasis offers the best of all worlds for those choosing a second home, retirement home, or simply a vacation destination.
With near perfect weather year round, Panama is the perfect final destination for those looking to escape during those long winter months. English is spoken as a second language and the people of Panama are some of the friendliest in the world.
Panama City has often drawn comparison to the cosmopolitan style of Miami chic with its sprawling urban development and first world infrastructure. Panama is an up and coming destination that is affordable as well as stunning. Today, Panama is considered to be one of the world’s top travel and lifestyle destinations.
And, since Panama is located south of the hurricane track, the country is not affected by tropical storms of major magnitude, only warm breezes and year-round temperatures in the 80’s.
The country boasts nearly 1,000 miles of coast-land on the Pacific, and 800 miles on its Caribbean side. Plus, there are literally hundreds of islands that dot both coasts.
THE GOOD LIFE…AT HALF THE COST
Panama has everything you could want, and more. A stable government, a wide range of tropical landscapes, Caribbean-style beaches, rainforests, and an amazingly broad range of foliage and natural life are within minutes by car or plane from its capital, Panama City.
Panama City itself is a destination like no other. Imagine a city with every conceivable amenity – beautiful residences, unparalleled shopping, a myriad of attractions, and more – most accessible at half the price as you would imagine paying for the same products or services in the U.S.
Marinas are minutes from your front door. Enjoy world-renowned fishing in what is recognized as one of the best fishing areas in the Americas.
Shopping is king in Panama. And why not? The same goods are available tax-free and duty-free, making Panama a shopping Mecca.
And, with no real estate taxes as we know them, your dollar stretches to unbelievable heights in Panama.
And nowhere is value more evident than at Pacific Village in Punta Pacifica, Panama.
HEALTHCARE IN PANAMA
The Punta Pacifica Hospital in Panama City was recently opened under an affiliation agreement with Johns Hopkins Medicine International. Punta Pacifica boasts state-of-the-art digitized diagnostic medical equipment.
Because of its affiliation with Johns Hopkins Hospital, one of the most renowned medical institutions in the United States, Punta Pacifica Hospital has access to Johns Hopkins medical staff professionals. This access is paramount to providing the highest level of care.
The majority of doctors at Punta Pacifica are trained in the United States or England and many are board certified in the U.S., as well as having met Johns Hopkins’ accreditation standards.
It is the only hospital of its kind in the region and boasts the highest quality equipment, equal to what you would find in any major hospital in the United State, including state-of-the-art digital diagnostic equipment, and an laboratory facility.
All of these medical services are accessible at a fraction of the cost of comparable medical services in the United States, and is another major benefit of life in Panama.
HUMAN RESOURCES
John Hopkins Medicine is defined by its faculty physicians, scientists, nurses, **** health professionals, and technical and support staff. All work hard every day to provide the best care possible to patients, train tomorrow’s physicians and nurses, and challenge the frontiers of biomedical science through research.
PANAMA’S ADVENTURES
Panama is a maritime country par excellence. Its history and its economy are linked to the sea. It has coasts on the Caribbean (1.207 km) and the Pacific Oceans (1700.6 km). This privileged geographic condition has generated important marine and coastal zones full of aquatic and land ecosystems like marshes, beaches and coral reefs that form incredible landscapes of submarine flora and fauna on both coasts.
