Mexico Medical Missions

What Mexico Medical Missions does

Mexico Medical Missions is a non-denominational Christian 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1988 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, that delivers medical care and community development services to indigenous populations of the Sierra Madre Mountains in Chihuahua, Mexico. Its core operating asset is Hospital Misión Tarahumara, a 10,000 sq. ft., 20-bed facility in Samachique that opened in 2000 and provides outpatient, emergency, dental, laboratory, X-ray, labor and delivery, ICU, and surgical services across two fully equipped operating rooms; specialty offerings include ophthalmology, reconstructive plastic surgery, and Certified Nurse Midwife services targeting one of the world's highest maternal and infant mortality contexts. The organization complements clinical care with the Community Health Evangelism (CHE) program, developed in partnership with Medical Ambassadors International, which trains local volunteers in evangelism, sanitation, agriculture, and enterprise creation as a community empowerment model. An Aviation Ministry operated via UIM Aviation provides medical evacuation and supply chain access to remote villages otherwise unreachable by ground transport.

The organization is funded entirely by tax-deductible charitable donations from individuals, churches, and foundations, processed through its website via PayPal, Venmo, and bank transfers with both one-time and recurring options; supporters can direct gifts to specific programs (hospital, CHE, aviation, water wells) or individual missionaries. Donors are acquired through the website, monthly email newsletter, and Facebook and Instagram organic social channels. The organization employs 1-10 staff but operates with substantial volunteer engagement, including short- and long-term medical mission trips staffed by recruited nurses and physicians. Governance is provided by a volunteer Board of Directors, and accountability is independently verified through a Charity Navigator 4-star rating, Candid Platinum Transparency Seal, and 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status (EIN 74-2548761). Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
