The Health Center run by La Sagrada Familia parish opened its doors more than 30 years ago. Since then, it has offered health services to thousands of sick people from Sabana Yegua and the entire parish area.
With the passing of the years the center, which originally was just a pharmacy, has gradually expanded its services. Currently there is a general physician, a dentist, a gynecologist, a pediatrician and a nutritionist, in addition to the laboratory and the pharmacy.
This year, thanks to a generous donation from the people of Saint Patrick’s parish in Racine, Wisconsin, the facilities of the Health Center have been completely renovated and extended. The “new” center meets the demands of the people and the need for a high quality service in this town of more than 10,000 inhabitants. Patients do not have to go to Azua (10 miles away) for a blood work or other lab tests; why should they? Next door they have a modern, well equipped laboratory!
After 30 years, La Sagrada Familia Parish, run by members of the Community of St. Paul since 2003, continues to support health awareness and health care in this vulnerable area, in the Southwest of the Dominican Republic.
