Mobile Clinics:
Recognizing that many people do not have the means to access the clinic due to sickness or lack of transportation, Project El Crucero recently started to serve those in need via mobile clinics. Mobile clinics are stocked with medications and supplies necessary to care for basic medical treatments and are facilitated my volunteer medical professionals from the United States. Patients in need of additional medical care are referred to the Susie Syke Clinic or to the government hospital for further treatment.
