The first in Mexico

Hospice Center

Coming Soon!

Bringing the first Hospice Center in Mexico to San Miguel de Allende

With the opening of our new Hospice Care center in San Miguel this fall, we will offer world-class Hospice Care to residents. Once completed, our facility will serve as a training site for healthcare professionals across Mexico. Phase one of the project will feature a healthcare center with an initial 3 in-patient beds, an intake exam room, administrative offices, volunteer offices, meeting areas, and a non-denominational chapel. Phase two is scheduled for completion within the next two years. The new training facility will be the home of our medical and educational curriculum courses. This project stands as one of the largest public-private initiatives in San Miguel, made possible in large part by the City’s donation of a 1,500 square-meter lot to us in 2023.

Hospice Care Mitigare will offer outpatient and inpatient services at our center, from personalized guidance to comprehensive end-of-life medical care for patients and their loved ones.

Our Beginning

For the last eight years, Mitigare Cuidados Paliativos A.C. has provided palliative care to patients facing terminal diagnoses in the comfort of their own homes and offered support to their families. As Les Matthews, president of Hospice Care Mitigare’s board, explained, “Mitigare will still provide services in people’s homes, but now, when a patient’s caretaker needs a break, or when someone lives too far out in the campo (countryside) to receive regular care, they can come to our facility for dignified, specialized end-of-life care.”

On November 27, 2023, a ceremony was held at the site of the new Hospice Care Mitigare location to mark the laying of the foundation stone. The ceremony was attended by Lic. Mauricio Trejo Pureco, the municipal president, and Leslie A. Matthews, President of the Board of Directors of Hospice Care Mitigare. The new center promises to benefit all residents of San Miguel de Allende.
