Amerimed Hospitals

AmeriMed Hospitals is Mexico's premier US-standard private hospital network, founded to deliver full medical services that meet American healthcare expectations for residents and visitors in Mexico's most popular tourist destinations. The first AmeriMed Hospital opened in Puerto Vallarta in the fall of 1996, followed by a second location in Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos in March 2001, and a clinic in Los Barriles, Baja California Sur in March 2006. The network has continued expanding to ensure that American and Canadian travelers have access to trusted medical care wherever they are in coastal Mexico.

AmeriMed is recognized as a leader and preferred provider of optimal medical services for both residents and international travelers. The network's facilities are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with bilingual in-house physicians who specialize in emergency medicine and general medical care. Nurses provide total quality care supported by the latest in medical technology. The guiding philosophy is that patients — regardless of whether they have a routine health concern or a life-threatening emergency — deserve the same high-quality, attentive, compassionate care.

AmeriMed's integrated medical system encompasses urgent and emergency care, obstetrics and gynecology, family practice, and both medical and surgical diagnosis and treatment. The system delivers care with comfort, personal attention, and clinical security that matches the best private hospitals in the United States.

AmeriMed Hospitals offers a comprehensive spectrum of medical and surgical specialties. The emergency department provides expert immediate care for all acute conditions, while specialist services cover cardiology, ENT (ear, nose, and throat), internal medicine, neurology, orthopedics, plastic and cosmetic surgery, gastroenterology, urology, nephrology, and bariatric surgery.

The cardiology department at AmeriMed Los Cabos is directed by Dr. Rafael Moguel, a bilingual invasive cardiologist trained in Barcelona, Spain, who performs diagnostic angiography, coronary angioplasty, coronary stenting, valvular and congenital heart disease treatment, carotid artery stenting, and peripheral vascular atherectomies. Dr. Moguel has performed over 200 such procedures annually for more than thirteen years and is a fellow of the Society of Cardiac Angiography and Intervention, accredited by the Mexican Council of Cardiology.

AmeriMed also provides long-term care services including chemotherapy, dialysis, respiratory care, insulin management, Coumadin titration, and chronic condition management — services that make the hospitals the preferred healthcare provider for American and Canadian expatriates and snowbirds living in coastal Mexico. Cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is offered in a discreet, private spa-like setting.

AmeriMed Hospitals facilities are built and equipped to US medical standards. Surgical suites feature modern laparoscopic equipment with HEPA air filtration, climate control, and complete surgical instrument sets with autoclave sterilization. Cardiac catheterization capabilities at the Los Cabos location allow interventional cardiology procedures to be performed locally — a significant advancement for a region that previously required medical evacuation for cardiac events.

Patient rooms at AmeriMed are equipped with cardiac monitoring, satellite television, in-room telephones with international calling, and nutritionist-designed meal options. Private nursing can be arranged upon request. The on-site 24-hour laboratory provides STAT analysis for liver, kidney, and cardiac risk profiles, thyroid testing, urinalysis, cardiac enzyme panels, PSA cancer screening, Pap smear cytology, cancer screening, and drug testing. Anti-venom for regional hazards including scorpion stings is maintained in stock. Mobile emergency units with 24-hour staffing, paramedics, and complete life support equipment extend care coverage throughout the service area, and worldwide air evacuation is available for critical patients.

AmeriMed Hospitals was conceived and built specifically to serve the international patient community in Mexico. The entire network is designed around the needs of American and Canadian tourists, snowbirds, and expatriates who expect US-quality care while living or visiting in Mexico. Every facility is bilingual, accepting English-speaking patients across all departments without language barriers.

AmeriMed accepts travelers' insurance and major international health insurance policies, and works with patients to facilitate insurance claims and coverage verification. Medical costs at AmeriMed are substantially below equivalent US hospital rates while adhering to the same clinical standards. This combination of quality and cost effectiveness makes AmeriMed an ideal choice for both emergency care and elective procedures. For patients requiring evacuation, AmeriMed coordinates worldwide air ambulance services. Specialists at AmeriMed can be accessed by appointment through the bilingual scheduling team, allowing patients to plan elective consultations and procedures during their time in Mexico.

AmeriMed Hospitals operates according to US standards of medical care — the central commitment of the network since its founding in 1996. All facilities are licensed and regulated under Mexico's Secretaría de Salud (Ministry of Health) and comply with all applicable state and federal healthcare regulations. Physician credentials are maintained to the standard expected by the American medical community.

The cardiology department at Los Cabos operates under the accreditation of the Mexican Council of Cardiology, and lead cardiologist Dr. Moguel holds fellowship membership in the Society of Cardiac Angiography and Intervention. He regularly attends major international cardiology conferences in the USA and Europe, maintaining currency with global standards in interventional cardiology. AmeriMed's recognition as a preferred provider by major US travel insurance companies reflects its externally verified commitment to quality. The network's 24-year operating history and multi-site expansion demonstrate a sustained track record of delivering reliable private healthcare in Mexico's coastal tourism corridor.
