Exciting Medical News Flash

Sandy Beach Medical Center is joining with Rocky Medical Center to provide you with the same excellent and professional care as in past years. It is located on Benito Juarez just south of the Coca Cola plant on Benito Juarez. Medical care is open to anyone with a medical condition or accident and Dr. Jesus Gonzales-Gaytan, M.D. is fluent in English and Spanish as is his staff. There will be doctors on staff at all times. This facility will be a full care medical center when it opens.

The center should be ready to open it’s doors within the next couple of weeks. Dr. Gonzales and his wife will be on the property 24/7 to meet all of your medical needs. As I have stated previously, he saved my life on more than one occasion when I went into shock from a reaction to sulfa drugs.

He has a plan for people that reside here most of the year that gives you almost everything you need from a check up to x rays and blood work ups, EKG’s, etc. It is well worth it and it beats driving to Phoenix for something that can be done locally. At the time of this article the annual cost for an individual is $850.00 USD or $1350 for a couple living in the same household or $1650.00 USD for a family of 2 adults and 2 children 18 and younger. These prices include IVA tax. A complete list of coverage is available from ridgway@bigfoot.com or sbmedcenter1@yahoo.com.mx

He will be providing a Rocky Point Medical Coverage plan for medical coverage from November 11- November 15 (Rocky Point Rally) at the center for 24 hour coverage per day. You all know you insure your bike when you come down, but what about YOU? Most US policies are not accepted here and most Doctors no longer take credit cards. The reason for this is once you go home feeling good.. you DISPUTE your charge and the doctor is stuck trying to get paid.

The Rocky Point Medical Treatment Plan is only $25 USD for each registrant at the Rocky Point Bike Rally. If you are planning to be in Rocky Point on that weekend, and decide you would like to have some coverage it will be available at the Rocky Medical Center and you don’t have to be a biker. The list below is what is covered.

Acute Allergic Reaction, Rashes, Allergies
Lung Disease Pneumonia, Asthma, Bronchitis
Laceration Repairs, Wound care, Stingray
Fractures, Dislocations, Sprains
Bike, 4-Wheeler, Rhino Accidents
Cardiac Disease (Chest Pains, Angina, Heart Attacks) EKG, evaluation, stabilization
X-Rays, Basic laboratory blood work
Ambulance Services
Maximum coverage of $2,000 USD

They will have similar programs both individual and family plans for other large holidays, so please check here and we will keep you updated.

Again, remember The Rocky Medical Center is located just south of the Coco Cola plant on the east side of the highway coming into town. Easy to get into with a guarded gate. Even if you don’t buy any type of coverage, stop in and see the center and all it has to offer. I will be doing another blog as we get closer to the rally so that you know where and how to buy the coverage.
