Mexican Medical, Inc.

Providing healing and hope for the poor and the less fortunate in Mexico. MM specializes in sharing God's love through medical, dental and hospital care, and through community health education programs/clinics.

 

Why do we exist?

We exist in order to bring physical healing and spiritual hope to the Mexican people. We work with Mexican hospitals to provide low-cost medical and surgical services to the people who need them.  If they are unable to afford it, our services are provided free.  In the same way, specialty surgical procedures are also performed by American physicians at low cost, or no cost.

What have you accomplished?

Lives are changed forever through the services we offer.  In 2009, we gave more than 5,000 free health consultations.  Last year we found 17 people with extremely high blood sugar levels.  They were unknown diabetics that are now able to get the education and care they need to feel better and live longer.

We provided a $400 catheter to a little girl in Tijuana (at no cost to her family) so she could receive her chemotherapy treatments.

People with cleft lips and palates go through surgery so that they can eat normally.  One such patient recently went through the last of a series of surgeries for his cleft lip and palate.  He went from having a gaping hole in his face and mouth to being a handsome young man.

There have also been reconstructive surgeries.  We have completed a series of surgical procedures to “build” an ear for two people who were born with congenital anomalies that left them without an ear.  Their lives have been changed forever.  What an amazing thing!

There was also a young lady who had numerous ugly skin tags removed from her ears.  The smile which broke out across her face after the surgery when she first viewed her “normal” ears was worth a million dollars.

How do you help people in my community? Why do you need my support?
