Community Program
The main objective is to bring medical and educational services to the poorest communities in Baja California.
Community Clinics
Many of our patients live on the outskirts of Tijuana and are unable to travel into the city for healthcare. In addition to needing family planning services and basic reproductive healthcare, many are at high risk for cervical cancer, which is the leading cause of death among Mexican women.
If our patients can’t come to us, we go to them. We operate eight clinics in the heart of Tijuana neighborhoods. Each clinic is staffed by a physician and several health promotores, who provide comprehensive medical care to families of all incomes.

Outreach Services
Pro Salud's health outreach program provides medical and educational services -including information on family planning and cervical and breast cancer- to different communities in Tijuana, Rosarito, Tecate and Ensenada. Patients have a complete medical examination that includes pap smears and breast examinations for women and vaccinations for children, as well as general medical exams and evaluations of blood pressure, weight, height, blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
