East Cape Health Center Medical Community Work
Los Barriles, BCS, Mexico

Built for this
community.

East Cape Health Center is more than a clinic. We are the health backbone of the Los Barriles area — comprehensive medical and dental services with an on-call emergency physician line, so many needs are met here without travel to La Paz or Cabo San Lucas.

Our mission

Empathetic care,
focused on the
most vulnerable.

Since its inception, East Cape Health Center has been a cornerstone for the community of Los Barriles. We provide high-quality medical and dental services - without the need to leave our town.

We are a registered Mexican nonprofit with partners in the United States who hold 501(c)(3) status, funded entirely by donations and driven by a team that genuinely cares about every patient who walks through our door.

Our bilingual team serves everyone: local Mexican families, expat residents, and tourists in need. For emergencies, call the on-call line; for visits, message us on WhatsApp to book an appointment.

What Drives Us

Our values

I

Compassion First

Every patient deserves to be treated with dignity and empathy — regardless of who they are or what they can afford.

II

Community Rooted

We exist for Los Barriles and the East Cape. Everything we do is designed around the needs of the people who live and visit here.

III

Clinical Excellence

High-quality care with modern equipment. We don't compromise on the standard of medicine just because we're a nonprofit.

IV

No One Left Behind

Through our social assistance program, anyone in need can access care — even without the ability to pay.

The people behind it

Our team

Skilled, bilingual, and deeply committed to the East Cape community.

Dental Team

Kind, patient-centered care, with special attention to children. Our dental team runs the More Smiles program serving hundreds of kids each year who would otherwise go without care.

Social assistance

When care is hard to afford

What this is: If paying for a visit, labs, or treatment would put your family in crisis, we may be able to reduce fees or cover part of your care through our social assistance program. The goal is simple — no one is turned away only because they cannot pay. Eligibility depends on your situation; we review each case with respect and privacy.

Erika Amador, our assistance coordinator, stays in close, ongoing contact — not only walking you through options and paperwork the first day, but checking in across follow-up visits and messages so care does not stop when you walk out the door.

Patients & families

Fee relief and paperwork for people who cannot pay the full cost — kept separate from your medical chart.

Staff & applicants

Hiring, schedules, and workplace questions. Our human resources desk is in the same building but separate from clinical reception.

United for our community

Our Partners & Allies

These partnerships help us reach more families and provide more services across the East Cape.
