Good news, San Felipe — your community hospital just got a serious facelift. Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda stopped by recently to check out the upgrades, which came with a 40-million-peso price tag (that’s around $2.3 million USD, but who’s counting?).
The hospital, part of the IMSS Bienestar system, now boasts shiny new equipment, extra space, and — wait for it — actual specialists! That’s right, no more crossing your fingers that your sprained ankle or mystery stomach pain can hold off until your next trip to Mexicali.
The overhaul included 18 million pesos for infrastructure and 22 million for equipment. That translated into two operating rooms, a recovery area, 20 hospital beds, X-ray services, and a completely revamped emergency room with a shock room, an isolation chamber, and even a lounge for the doctors (because yes, rested doctors are better doctors).
Governor Marina del Pilar made it clear: this is part of an ongoing effort to make healthcare more reliable in San Felipe. With the hospital now in full swing — thanks in part to previous federal construction efforts and current coordination with President Claudia Sheinbaum — the aim is to ensure specialists are permanently stationed here, not just dropping in like seasonal tourists.
Speaking of help, six Cuban doctors are already on staff, and six more were flown in for the busy Semana Santa season. Their specialties cover internal medicine, surgery, anesthesiology, trauma, and orthopedics — basically, all the stuff you hope you won’t need but are glad to have just in case.
So, if you were thinking about testing your luck with that ATV jump — maybe don’t. But if you do, at least now there’s a decent hospital waiting for you on the other side.
If you were planning to do anything remotely bureaucratic this Thursday or Friday, think again. Banks will be closed. Most government offices? Also closed. Why? Because it’s Holy Week, and in Mexico, that means it’s time to hit pause on anything that resembles productivity.
From Thursday (April 17) through Friday (April 18), offices all over the country are locking up and heading out—presumably to the beach, a barbecue, or church (in that order, probably).
So what does this mean for you? If you need to do anything involving money transfers, immigration paperwork, permit renewals, or your favorite pastime—waiting in line at the SAT office—save yourself the heartbreak. It’s not happening.
ATMs should still work (we said “should”), and you might find some banks with limited services at grocery store branches. But anything requiring an actual human behind a desk? Nope.
Post offices, courts, city halls, and other official spots are joining in the national long weekend. You know it’s serious when even the people who stamp your papers are saying “mañana.”
On the bright side, it’s a great excuse to take a break yourself. Go enjoy some sunshine, eat too many empanadas, and reflect on the fact that life in Mexico comes with siestas and government-wide vacations.
