We are delighted to report that construction has been underway for several months to expand our parish Health Center in Sabana Yegua.
The current center, which has been in operation for almost 40 years, has long offered general consultations, dentistry, laboratory services, pharmacy, and optometry. Recently, we have added gynecology, sonography, pediatrics, and internal medicine services to these services.
With that, the center has become too small. Consequently, the decision was made to erect a brand-new building on the parish compound. With this construction, we will fulfill our dream of having a suitable medical center with several specialties, which is a great need in the parish of "La Sagrada Familia," which has a population of 30,000. Our physiotherapy center (currently located in another building) will also be relocated there, expanding its facilities.
All of these services, aimed at the most vulnerable population, will prevent patients from having to travel to the public hospital in Azua, which is always very congested. In Sabana Yegua, they will have quality service, provided by the Church.
We are grateful for the donations from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, through its institutions and parishes, and to many friends who, with their generosity, are making this project possible. We will tell you about the opening of the new health center in a few months!
