gringal Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Some months ago, pictures were posted of what the finished hospital would look like, and we were told what facilities it would have. Sounded great. What's the current status? Anyone know how close it is to opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvanparys Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Construction is ongoing... It was supposed to be completed in December according to a physician who will be moving there... It certainly will not be ready by then but it is moving along... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On TOB, "Chapalamed" said it would be about 12 months from now. Sounds more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I believe that Chapalamed is talking about the hospital on the Libramiento. The Hospital in Riberas, which is opposite the Chula Vista Golf Course, is more under way. Which one are you asking about? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread was about the hospital in Riberas, and included pictures previously posted which referred specifically to it, as did his post. Don't know anything about a hospital on the Libramento.

luvsdawgs Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 The hospital on the libremiento will be across from El Dorado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 "Chapala Med in partnership with the owner's of the hospital VALLARTA MEDICAL CENTER will break ground this MARCH 17th, 2018 at 5 pm on the LIBRAMIENTO CHAPALA-AJIJIC across from EL DORADO Condominiums." The above quote is from the first post on TOB that Chapalamed is referring to and the link is to the thread where he states that the time frame will be in 12 months from now to finish. http://www.insidelakeside.com/t19880-ribera-medical-center-hospital-ground-breaking-event-03-17-2018 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I re-read that thread and you're right. The "Ribera" hospital is on the Libramento and will be open in about 12 months. So the proposed medical center in Riberas is not on the table. Someone asked me, so I asked the question and Chapalamed and I were not on the same page, alas,😪 in the answer.

Exactly! It started before the one on the libramiento and will be finished way before the one on the libramiento. So, it's more than on the table because it will be serving dinner before long. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogirl Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I have an appointment to see Dr. Garcia in January at the new hospital. So we remain optimistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Although I have been up north for a couple of weeks, the last time I looked at the construction, things were plowing slowly ahead. And soon it will be open, but somehow I think it will be perhaps sometime in February, but not by years end. Am I wrong? Will it really be done by the end of the year? What do you think?

Dr.Santiago Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Question. Word has it that the construction is no longer being designated to become a hospital. Can anybody deny or confirm it or deny this ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xena Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Dr. Santiago, sorry but a picture of a picture of the planned building does not tell us anything. Please tell us if construction is still ongoing and how close is it to completion? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 It's in San Antonio Tlayacapan opposite the entrance to the Chula Vista Golf Course. It looks very close to completion. It would not at all surprise me if they are also renting out locals to some other businesses... like a restaurant or a pharmacy etc. That would be a good business move. As to Dr. Santiago's rumour? No idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Last time we spoke with Dr. Jorge Gonzalez (a few weeks ago) he was telling us about the colors and finishings that are to be in the patient rooms, so I would say hospital; he was expecting January opening; as Ferret said likely a restaurant, pharmacy, snack shop or gift shop may be leased space within the hospital itself, like most other hospitals here and NOB. 15 minutes ago, Xena said: Dr. Santiago, sorry but a picture of a picture of the planned building does not tell us anything.

Xena I believe Dr. Santiago is associated with the other hospital being built on the libramiento across from El Dorado - that facility is a LOOOOONNNNGGGG way from completion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Thanks WideSky. I noticed that later. However, since Dr. Santiago did answer the question addressed to him in the confusion with that photo it is as good a time as any for him to update us on his project. He might even start a new thread to help us keep it all straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Santiago Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Clarification: The construction is still going on. Building is about 50% complete. But from what I have heard (RUMOR MILL) is that it will no longer be a "hospital" and will only be LOCALES (Store fronts). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about your planned hospital on the liberamento or the planned hospital in Riberas? If you mean the one in Riberas is now rumored to becoming only store fronts, how is your construction on the liberamento coming along? Still going to be a hospital and what is planned completion date? Thank you again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Berca Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Santiago must be referring to his hospital otherwise he could just pickup the phone and call Dr. García, who already has appointments scheduled in his new hospital, and not be spreading easily disproved, unfounded negative rumors about the San Antonio facility on local web boards or elsewhere disguised as a question to which he could easily find the answer if he really wants an answer. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
