True healing extends beyond the clinic. Social Vision works closely with grassroots foundations, local businesses and community organizers to share vital resources, reach families and make the most of what everyone can give across Cuenca.

Over the years the foundation has built relationships with doctors, hospitals and community services in Cuenca. The community directory shares those contacts so that anyone, whether or not they need financial assistance, can find trusted care. It grew out of the referrals the foundation was already making by hand for newcomers and for the expat community.

What you will find

  • Physicians and specialists in the foundation’s medical network, with the languages they speak
  • Hospitals and clinics the foundation works with
  • Physical therapy, pain management, dental and other services
  • Community organizations, facilitators and services people in Cuenca have found useful

How listings are chosen

A listing is added when the foundation has worked with the provider or a board member can vouch for them, and only with the provider’s permission. Listings are reviewed periodically and corrected on request; the date of the last check is shown on each one. The foundation receives no payment for a listing unless the listing says so.

What a listing is not

Browsing a listing does not make an appointment, does not decide eligibility for assistance and is not a medical recommendation for your particular case. Fees are agreed directly with the provider. If something has changed, or if your experience with a listed provider was poor, tell us and the listing will be reviewed.
