Costamed Medical Group has recently broken ground on a state-of-the- art expansion which includes a new intensive care unit.  Additionally, the 600-meter hospital wing will incorporate 10 additional hospital rooms, a nurse’s station, a new, more efficient, Emergency Room entry, a specialized area where up to 8 patients in shock can be treated simultaneously, and an outpatient surgery area.
During the ground breaking ceremony last week, Dr. Ricardo Segovia Gasque, Director of Costamed, stated that this is only the first phase of the expansion, which is expected to take 4 years with an estimated cost of 40 million pesos.

Already the largest private hospital in Cozumel, Costamed Hospital Group reaffirms their  commitment to improve the level of health care on the island, by continually updating and improving their range hospital services available to the local population as well as island visitors.

An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weekly Cozumel 4 You news, social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean. ______________________________ Una ex yanqui de Connecticut quien llama hogar a Cozumel desde hace más de 15 años.
