Dear Donors,
   Your generosity over the past five years has kept the Clinic afloat and contributed to the construction of a new, permanent Clinic in this rural, agricultural community.  Recently, Friends of Barron (FOB) achieved its long term goal; we found a local partner to take over the day to day management and financial responsibility for the Clinic.  La Viña (the Vineyard), a socially responsible Mexican non-profit operating in the Mazatlan area for over 30 years, has completed construction of the new Clinic now located within a larger Community Center.  La Viña will manage the new facility starting March 1, 2025.  FOB’s role will be to initially help supervise the transition and in the future, assist La Viña’s fund raising efforts to ensure the Clinic’s doors stay open.
   FOB has donated all medical/dental equipment, pharmacy, supplies and furniture to La Viña for the operation of the new Clinic.  We closed the old Clinic and moved into the new facility last week.  The doors are now open to attend to the medical and dental needs of Barron.
   Thank you FOB donors for your support over the years.  Thanks to you, Barron now has a stable, permanent Clinic managed by a dedicated Mexican professional staff.  Please go to fobnews.org to see photos of the new Clinic.
Best Regards,
Richard McGuire (aka Ricardo)
Director, Barron Clinic
