Amerimed Hospitals

AmeriMed Hospitals is a recognized network of private medical facilities in Mexico dedicated to providing full medical services that meet US standards of healthcare. The network's flagship Baja California Sur hospital in Cabo San Lucas has established itself as the leading private medical facility serving the Los Cabos corridor — one of Mexico's most popular tourist and expatriate destinations.

AmeriMed is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with bilingual, in-house physicians who specialize in emergency medicine and general care. The network is recognized as a preferred professional provider of optimal medical service for residents, travelers, and expatriates — domestic and international. Both emergency and routine care are provided at the same high standard, whether for a visiting tourist requiring urgent treatment or a long-term resident managing a chronic condition.

AmeriMed has built a strong reputation among American and Canadian snowbirds who spend extended periods in Baja California Sur. The hospital's walk-in continuing care service is particularly valued by these long-term visitors, who can access services such as insulin management, chemotherapy, dialysis, respiratory care, and specialist consultations — services that many private clinics in tourist destinations cannot reliably provide. Appointments with specialists can be scheduled by calling the hospital's friendly bilingual staff.

AmeriMed Hospitals offers an integrated medical system encompassing emergency medicine, urgent care, obstetrics and gynecology, family practice, internal medicine, and medical and surgical diagnostics and treatment. The facility excels in emergency medicine, providing the same level of attentive care for routine and surgical problems as for critical emergencies.

Surgical services include reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, which are available in AmeriMed's spa-like setting — a discreet and private option for patients seeking elective procedures during their time in Los Cabos. Cardiology services through AmeriMed include diagnostic angiography, coronary angioplasty, coronary artery stenting, valvular and congenital heart disease management, carotid artery stenting, and peripheral vascular procedures led by bilingual invasive cardiologist Dr. Rafael Moguel. Long-term and chronic care management — including Coumadin titration, chemotherapy, and dialysis — are also available for residents requiring ongoing treatment.

AmeriMed Hospitals Baja California Sur is fully equipped for emergency, surgical, and routine medical care. The facility features modern anesthesia equipment, high-quality laparoscopic surgical equipment for minimally invasive operations, an air-filtered HEPA system in operating rooms, climate-controlled patient areas, and a full set of surgical instruments. Sterilization is managed through an autoclave with bio-control measures to prevent infection.

Patient rooms include cardiac monitoring, satellite television with remote control, in-room phones with international calling capability, private nursing upon request, and nutritionist-designed meal menus. An on-site clinical laboratory provides round-the-clock STAT (immediate) analysis capabilities including liver, kidney, and cardiac risk profiles, thyroid testing, urinalysis, cardiac enzymes for heart attack evaluation, PSA prostate cancer screening, Pap smear with cytologist analysis, breast and colon cancer screening, and drug screening. Anti-venom for scorpion stings is stocked for the region's environmental hazards.

AmeriMed Hospitals was designed from its founding specifically to serve international patients, expatriates, and tourists from the United States and Canada who require US-standard medical care while in Mexico. The hospital's bilingual physicians, nursing staff, and administrative team ensure that English-speaking patients experience no communication barriers from registration through discharge.

The hospital accepts travelers' insurance and major international health insurance coverage, as well as credit cards including Visa and MasterCard. For patients needing reconstructive or cosmetic surgery, AmeriMed provides a private, spa-like setting that offers discretion and comfort. Medical costs at AmeriMed are significantly below equivalent US hospital rates, though the facility's US standards and insurance compatibility make it a step above the typical budget medical tourism option. The facility serves as the primary choice for emergency medical care for American tourists throughout the Los Cabos corridor, ensuring visitors have access to high-quality care during their stay.

AmeriMed Hospitals operates according to US standards of healthcare, which forms the core of its institutional identity and service model. The hospital is licensed and regulated under Mexico's Secretaría de Salud (Ministry of Health) and complies with state and federal healthcare regulations for Baja California Sur. The network's commitment to delivering care that meets American quality expectations is reflected in its physician credentialing, nursing protocols, and laboratory standards.

The cardiology department under Dr. Rafael Moguel meets the standards of the Mexican Council of Cardiology for endovascular diagnosis and treatment, and Dr. Moguel holds fellowship membership in the Society of Cardiac Angiography and Intervention. The facility's laboratory services include STAT analysis meeting clinical accuracy standards consistent with American medical practice. AmeriMed's multi-year operational history in Los Cabos and its recognition as a preferred provider by international insurance plans reflect its established reputation for quality and reliability in the region.
