Centro de Salud Posted by Carol Lopez on March 19, 2023, 1:49 pm Does anyone have the doctors number, in case of emergency on a Sunday, or when the Centro de Salud is not open? Or, is the ambulance number still working, while we wait for the actual ambulance to be fixed and operating here again? A friend needs a tetanus shot today. She might have to go to the Cihuatlán hospital...just wondering if there is another option.

Re: Centro de Salud Posted by Crissy on March 19, 2023, 2:09 pm, in reply to "Centro de Salud" It’s hard to find the tetanus shots

Re: Centro de Salud Posted by Laurisa W. on March 19, 2023, 3:19 pm, in reply to "Re: Centro de Salud" I got a tetnus shot from Dr. Gaby a few yrs ago.

Re: Centro de Salud Posted by Carol Lopez on March 19, 2023, 4:04 pm, in reply to "Centro de Salud" It seems, after lots of phone calls, that the only place you MIGHT get that shot is at a Centro de Salud, or the Cihuatlan Community Hospital (the new one). Their phone is: 315 355 2171 Many thanks, Jeanne Crosby, for that information. And, since tomorrow is a holiday, the department that gives those shots at the Cihuatlan Hospital might not have the personnel to give the shot (even though they confirmed that they do have some of it in stock.) So…it’s a good idea to get a tetanus shot updated regularly. Also, we need to update the Emergency Services chart…it’s been a few years. Anyone want to volunteer to do that? Good Spanish-on-the-telephone practice. And lots of people would be very grateful to have it updated and printed out. Please contact me if you are interested, and can communicate on the phone in Spanish. 315 107 5198.

Re: Centro de Salud Posted by LisaFern on March 19, 2023, 9:16 pm, in reply to "Re: Centro de Salud" I am also seeking info on when the Centro de Salud here may be open and staffed. Anyone know? We need an important form signed for the veterinary clinic that happened this weekend. I didn't realize Monday was a holiday. Thanks for accurate info. Lisa

Re: Centro de Salud Posted by Kathy G on March 20, 2023, 8:28 am, in reply to "Re: Centro de Salud" What about the San Patricio Clinic in Melaque? I went there for emergency care a couple years ago on a weekend and they seemed to be ready for anything. I was impressed. And thankful.

Re: Centro de Salud Posted by Jeanne C on March 20, 2023, 9:11 am, in reply to "Re: Centro de Salud" The regular hours at the Centro de Salud are 8-3, M-F. Not sure how the holiday affects this.

Re: Centro de Salud Posted by LisaFern on March 20, 2023, 3:03 pm, in reply to "Re: Centro de Salud" Thanks Jeanne! I'll start trying tomorrow.

Re: Centro de Salud Posted by Mary Jo on March 20, 2023, 9:40 am, in reply to "Centro de Salud" We had an incident last Sat during a yoga class and needed a medic. The ambulence number didn't seem to work, so someone drove to Miguel's little clinic in town. Dr Hector did a house call and all was well. We were made aware of the complications around an emergency.
