Exciting things are happening for the indigenous people of Mexico. It all started in the small Yucatán village of Huhí.

Since 2001, A Promise of Health has worked in more than 25 rural municipalities, in Yucatán, serving 158,000 people. The majority are Maya who live in extreme poverty. To meet this need, A Promise of Health has perfected its Medicine Wheel program. 

The medicine wheel was sacred to Native Americans living on the Great Plains. To them the wheels were a place to go for spiritual renewal and prayer. To the native people of Mexico , our Medicine Wheels are an answer to their prayers to bring health to their people.

In each Medicine Wheel is a cluster of villages and small towns that can locally be served by one doctor. The doctor lives within the circle, becoming part of the community. Living in each wheel are about 40,000 people. A doctor rides circuit, going from village to village each week.
