Hospitals in Medellin

I'm going to be in Medellin soon, enjoying Colombia and trying to improve my medical Spanish. I currently work in a hospital in the US, and I'm looking into volunteering for a hospital in Medellin preferably, for one that would be comparable to a county-type hospital. Looking at the Paginas Amarillas, I've figured out which hospitals are the money-makers, but which ones cater to the poor, underserved colombians?

Try Clínica León 13. Clínica El Rosario and Clínica Las Américas are two very good ones.

Thanks for the information. I'm an ER nurse in California. I make an extended trip to South America every year to do some sort of volunteer work. Colombia is the next country on my list, and I can't wait. I would greatly appreciate any hospital contacts...
