Ventanilla de Salud
The Consulate has a Health Window (VDS) that offers, free of charge, preventive health services, guidance, counseling, timely detection and referral. Your physical and mental health is important, and at VDS we work to support you in your care and increase access to primary and preventive services. The care is safe, confidential, free and in Spanish, regardless of your immigration status.
Our goal is to improve your physical and mental well-being. Visit the Health Window, where they will assist you in a comprehensive and preventive manner through the following services:
- Recommendation and referral to health services (community clinics) to establish a medical home and/or when a specialized medical service is required.
- Guidance/Counseling on health issues: correct diet, physical activity, obesity, diabetes, women’s health and children’s health, mental health, addiction prevention, sexual health, among others.
- Timely detection of HIV and AIDS, body mass index, cholesterol levels, glucose, among others.
- Application of vaccines against COVID-19 and influenza.
- Attention to mental health through workshops, talks and guidance to identify emotions.
- Information on health insurance alternatives for Mexicans residing in the United States.
This initiative is carried out in close collaboration with the Mexican Ministry of Health, the United States-Mexico Border Health Commission, as well as organizations with a local presence specialized in health.
Get informed! You are on time. Ask about the services that the VDS has such as glucose testing, blood pressure, cholesterol, body mass index measurement, screening for sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, dental, hearing, vision exams, mammography and application of vaccines.
