Rio Grande River Valley at the Border
Border view of the Rio Grande Valley at Big Bend. The river snakes through the green and yellow foliage as it defines our border with Mexico. The mountains are majestic and the desert vast. The left side is the United States and the right is Mexico. It is great to share such impressive beauty with our neighbor. As a family physician, I have cared for many patients from both sides of the border. People are people no matter on which side of the border they were born. They all need to be treated with dignity and compassion.
