Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The Yelapa Health Center, a cornerstone of healthcare in the Cabo Corrientes region since 1999, has undergone a major renovation. This transformative project, funded by the Jalisco State Government, has modernized the facility to better serve the needs of the local community.
With a total investment of over 4.7 million pesos, the health center has undergone a complete transformation. The renovation ensures that the facility now meets modern standards, providing a comfortable and efficient environment for both patients and healthcare professionals.
The Secretary of Health of Jalisco, Fernando Petersen Aranguren, emphasized the importance of this rehabilitation, stating, “Today, Yelapa is proud to have a health center that is worthy of its inhabitants.” He went on to highlight the center’s expanded capacity and the high quality of care it will now offer.
The director of the Puerto Vallarta Sanitary Region, Jaime Álvarez Zayas, shared that the renovation was a long-awaited project, as the previous facility had fallen into disrepair due to age and the challenging coastal climate. The new center boasts modern amenities such as air conditioning, a safe environment, a well-stocked pharmacy, and a dedicated staff.
The Yelapa Health Center now offers a range of essential services, including general medicine, dentistry, observation, pharmacy, cervical cancer screening, vaccinations, and a residents’ room. These services will benefit not only the 1,400 residents of Yelapa but also visitors to the area.
The inauguration of the renovated health center is a testament to the commitment of the Jalisco State Government and local authorities to improving the quality of life for their citizens. This investment ensures that Yelapa residents and visitors have access to essential healthcare services in a modern and comfortable facility.
