About Us

Healing Hearts Across Borders began as a grass-roots organization led by Dr. Kevin Lake and a team of volunteers, offering health check-ups and limited medication to the people of Tijuana.

Our team now consists of five doctors, a dentist, and support staff of registration, pharmacy, mobile laboratory, and translators. Our volunteers include medical students, college students, and many others from all walks of life. We travel to Tijuana four times a year and set up a free clinic at two different locations, including Colonia Obrera, the makeshift village at the Tijuana garbage dump. We see 600 to 700 patients on each weekend trip.

We are a tax-exempt, non-profit organization.
