Consul Juarez Mondragon stated the Maverick County Hospital District had made significant contributions to the public health of thousands of Mexican immigrants within the Eagle Pass and Middle Rio Grande Region during 2024-2025 as well as participated in monthly public health clinics and programs sponsored or hosted by the Consulate of Mexico at Eagle Pass, Texas. “The Othli Award is granted by the Institute of Mexicans Living Abroad (IME) and is focused on strengthening relations with the Mexican community that resides outside of Mexico,” added Consul Juarez Mondragon.
Maverick County Hospital District Board of Trustees President Adolfo Olivares stated that “the Board, Administration, healthcare providers, and staff are greatly honored and privileged to receive this prestigious recognition from the Mexican government through its Consulate of Mexico at Eagle Pass. We are passionate about our mission to provide healthcare services to the indigent residents of Maverick County and surrounding areas. We cherish our public health relationship with the Consulate of Mexico at Eagle Pass’s “Ventanilla de Salud” free public health clinics and programs. We’re working diligently in bringing more specialist physicians and services to our growing Maverick County community,” added Olivares.

The “Othli Award” is presented annually by each of Mexico’s Embassies and Consulates Abroad and recognizes individuals or entities that aid, empower, or positively affect the lives of Mexicans nationals that reside abroad.
