Who We Are: STMA is a non-profit association set up by American Expats living in Mexico who saw a tremendous need to facilitate quality US-style medical care in Mexico covered by private insurance from the US and Canada. Founded in 2021 by Greg and Elizabeth Hovey in conjunction with Dr. Ian Zuckerman, CEO of Lakeside Medical Group, and insurance industry leaders like Nationwide® Insurance and TME Insurance Services, STMA offers exclusive access to free and low cost medical and insurance services ensuring you a safe stay while traveling and living in Mexico. Your existing US, Canadian or VA may qualify for our free services, or qualifying low-cost insurance will be made available.
