Teletón Opens Los Cabos Pediatric Rehabilitation Center, Its 27th in Mexico

The opening is framed as part of a national expansion after rehabilitation was elevated to a constitutional right.

Overview

  • The facility is the second CRIT in Baja California Sur and will complement the existing center in La Paz.
  • Fundación Teletón says the Los Cabos center will benefit more than 500 families, with local reporting noting care for about 350 children each year.
  • Bienestar Secretary Ariadna Montiel said the federal-Teletón program will deliver integrated therapies free of charge under the new constitutional guarantee.
  • Teletón president Fernando Landeros cited a three-decade effort supported by more than 23 million donors and care provided to about one million children nationwide.
  • Baja California Sur’s governor pledged to work toward a Teletón Autism Center in the state, and Teletón announced Colima as the next CRIT site with groundbreaking expected early next year.
