CRISMA

Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center San Miguel de Allende

CRISMA focuses on improving the health and quality of life of people suffering from physical or neurological disabilities, by providing cutting-edge rehabilitation services coupled with a deep humanitarian sense.

CRISMA (Centro Rehabilitacion Integral San Miguel de Allende) is a state-of-the-art outpatient rehabilitation facility located on the outskirts of San Miguel de Allende, a romantic town in the heart of Mexico, which has been named “One of the Safest Towns in Mexico” by U.S. News Travel.

CRISMA serves a largely impoverished patient population, with about 70% living in poverty. It is part of the Vamos Mexico Foundation created by President Fox and his wife, Dona Marta Sahagun Fox, and is a 501(c)(3) Foundation.

The new facility started in 2020 serves the local community with a full-time staff of medical professionals. The caring staff sees approximately 330 patients monthly. The age groups range from 3 months to 90 years.

Currently, CRISMA cares for 160 pediatric patients and 170 adult patients. The cost per session is capped at $20 and is estimated on income. Most patients pay US $1 per treatment. CRISMA absorbs 95% of the total cost of rehabilitation services.

CRISMA employs a comprehensive healthcare model to develop and enhance patient autonomy, enabling them to reach their full potential and independence.
