Colonia Grupo México

Colonia Grupo México is located farther from downtown Tijuana , on a hilltop on the outskirts of the city.  When we began visiting this site in 2005, many community members commented to us, “Not many people come all the way out here.”

At this site, we set up our clinic in a large concrete dome (known as “La Bola” by the residents), next to a church under construction.  While patients wait their turn to see a doctor or the dentist, stray dogs loiter, hoping to steal scraps from someone’s unattended lunch.

While the paved streets and sturdier construction suggest that this community has more resources than Colonia Obrera, it is clear that the need is still there, especially for a reliable source of ongoing health care.  On each HHAB visit, patients eagerly inquire when we will return.  In a short period of time, we have already established a regular presence that the community can count on, and their gratitude and enthusiasm are evident.

As at Colonia Obrera, we are currently working to become a more constant and stable entity within this community, in order to help the residents access the ongoing care they need.
