A personal note from Pamela Thompson:
I hope that you are all enjoying this holiday season here in Paradise. December is such a busy month here, we hope that you are able to remember that it is important to take care of yourself both physically and mentally!
We at Hospital Cornerstone wish you the happiest and healthiest of holidays! Please remember those that are less fortunate than we are. There are numerous charities in Puerto Vallarta that we support. I have a "Wish List" that is ongoing. Please let me know if you would like a copy of it.
Cheers!
