Flying Samaritans SDSU is a student-driven health initiative committed to advancing health equity through monthly free clinics in Tijuana and Tecate, Mexico. Our work centers around empowering underserved communities with access to high-quality medical, dental, and optometric care—care that would otherwise be out of reach.At the heart of our clinic model is a commitment to dignity, continuity, and cultural respect. Our patients are seen not as numbers, but as individuals with layered needs—many managing chronic conditions without consistent access to care. By bringing care directly to them, we reduce barriers like cost, transportation, and stigma.Through our use of Cliniko, a secure Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system, we’ve strengthened patient continuity and improved clinical decision-making. Cliniko enables us to track patient histories across visits, identify at-risk individuals, and ensure patients receive follow-up care that is intentional and informed. It also provides undergraduate volunteers firsthand experience with modern health technology, nurturing the next generation of culturally competent healthcare leaders.Each interaction in our clinics represents more than treatment—it is an act of solidarity. Our mission is rooted not only in service, but in justice. We believe every human being, regardless of where they live, deserves access to informed, respectful, and sustainable healthcare.

 

We are actively seeking partnerships with organizations that share our vision of health equity and cross-border impact. By supporting Flying Samaritans SDSU, you contribute directly to sustainable, student-led healthcare for underserved communities in Mexico. Whether through funding, supplies, training, or collaboration, your partnership helps us expand our reach and deepen the care we provide. Let’s build something meaningful—together.
