Pancho Villa — The First Hospital of the Americas

I, Pancho Villa, ride out of the dust to tell you that a warrior’s spirit is nothing without a place to heal! In 1524, we built the first hospital in the Americas right here. Just as our people found strength there, our modern gladiators like Rafael Márquez and Memo Ochoa find their second wind. From the ancient stones of the capital to the grass of the Azteca, we mend our wounds only to fight harder for the green jersey. Viva the beautiful game!
