friends who happily showed me around. I fly to Mexico frequently and was in Baja on a whale-watching adventure with Baja Bush Pilots (BBP) and had flown down from Mulege, another great spot, to get fuel for our Cessna T206.
This new medical facility is impressive. In addition to the resident physician, the staff includes an imaging technician, lab chemist, nurse and support staff.
They have two examination suites, an X-ray imaging room, a pharmacy, a lab, and offices in the clinic, just steps away from the FBO lobby area and the new café. With their ambulance service, they can be dispatched to other areas in Baja with a physician or nurse on board, in addition to the EMTs, and stabilize the patient on return to the Loreto clinic. When they need additional services beyond the capa- bilities there, their ambulances, including air ambulances, can be utilized to transport patients to St. Luke’s Hospital in San Jose Del Cabo.
Our family has been flying throughout Mexico for nearly forty years, and this new clinic offers extra comfort know- ing that such advanced treatment options are now available in this region of Baja. It’s one more advantage to simplify a sometimes harrowing ordeal. This clinic is also a great way to show the value of airports to the local community.
