Our History And Founding Partners
Hospitalito de la Mixteca, AC, began in 2018 in the Municipality of La Heroica Ciudad de Tlaxiaco in the Mixteca region of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico.
7 years
of history
Hospitalito de la Mixteca, A.C., was born as a concrete response to an alarming reality: the accelerated growth of type II diabetes mellitus in Mexico, particularly among vulnerable groups in the state of Oaxaca, where access to health services is limited and social exclusion persists.
Faced with the lack of specialized medical care, timely diagnoses, and educational processes that allow people to understand and manage this chronic disease, a group of people diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus decided to create an institution dedicated exclusively to providing comprehensive care with a humanistic, intercultural, and person-centered approach.
From its inception, Hospitalito de la Mixteca has aimed to intervene through its own comprehensive and systemic care model, structured around five strategic axes: prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and metabolic control of type II diabetes mellitus. This approach has allowed it to serve hundreds of people in vulnerable situations, not only from a medical perspective, but also through psychosocial support, nutritional guidance, and self-care training.
Over time, Hospitalito de la Mixteca has strengthened its community presence through partnerships with public and private institutions, establishing itself as a reference point for people facing geographic, economic, and cultural barriers to healthcare.
Life story of Nancy Rodríguez Bautista has shown unbreakable strength in her fight for life. A loving mother, a brave wife and a tireless woman, she faces each day with the hope of receiving a kidney transplant that will allow her to continue enjoying her family. Her son Santiago, with the tenderness of his innocence, has already chosen a name for the kidney that will change their lives: «Salvador.»
Nancy has been through hospitalizations, painful procedures and moments of uncertainty, but her desire to live remains intact. With type A-RH-positive blood, she is looking for that generous person who can give her a second chance.
You can be the hero in her story. If it’s in your heart to help, learn about living kidney donation and join Nancy’s hope.
Share her story and help her find her Savior!

Strategic Planning
The 2025-2030 Strategic Plan of Hospitalito de la Mixteca, A.C., is the backbone that will guide our work over the next five years in the Mixteca region and other priority areas of the state of Oaxaca. This plan lays out a clear path to consolidate our comprehensive model of care for type 2 diabetes mellitus and expand our impact in communities facing profound inequalities in access to healthcare.
Based on evidence, community engagement, and a vision of social justice, the Strategic Plan establishes concrete objectives to strengthen our five pillars of intervention: prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and metabolic control. It also includes the expansion of services, institutional strengthening, innovation in health education, and the establishment of key partnerships at the local, state, and national levels.
Through this plan, we seek not only to address the disease but also to transform the environments that cause it, promoting healthy lifestyles, empowering people in vulnerable situations, and contributing to a more equitable and healthy region.
This strategic commitment reflects our conviction: health is a right, not a privilege.
