Many homeless after Singer donates concert Fires force many out of ✔ Woman is hero to poor
storm for cause homes in Juárez

Guadalupe Arizpe De La Vega isn’t a celebrity,
but CNN named her one of their “heroes” in 2010.
The 74-year-old De La Vega started Hospital de la
Familia in Juárez, Mexico more than 30 years ago.
The hospital helps citizens of Juárez who live in
poverty. It treats about 900 patients each day,
with or without payment. De La Vega wanted to
improve the lives of poor women and children. Her
aim is to give the poorest people the best health
care. “They need it and deserve it,” says De La Vega.
Although the hospital charges the patients that can
afford it, the hospital doesn’t make a profit.
It is supported by a nonprofit organization called
FEMAP-SADEC, also founded by De La Vega.
Hospital de la Familia is a sponsor of 7 hospitals and 32
FEMAP-SADEC clinics.
In 2010 it delivered its 100,000th baby. “I just love it. It’s my
life, it’s my passion. I get the privilege of experiencing the
magic moment of change from sickness to health; from
darkness to light,” De La Vega says.
