Health Care
La Garita currently has a clinic by the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS), a social security clinic funded by the workers of the region, especially the farmers of the sugarcane fields in the area. This is not an open clinic, only those people who qualify for the social security either by their work or a family member who works and pays for their social security is able to get medical aid, medicines, and care.
Public health care is available just a couple of miles away at the Centro de Salud at the neighbor town of La Verdura. At the nearby city of Tamazula de Gordiano, about 20 minutes away, more advance medical care is available with another IMSS clinic, Gotitas de Vida rehabilitation center, and the Centro de Salud Popular (a public government clinic).

The light and careless livery that it wears
Than settled age his sables and his weeds,
Importing health and graveness.”
