Word & Deed became involved in the construction of this hospital in 2012-13, which was completed in 2015. Today, Word & Deed continues to support the hospital by providing for a portion of their operating costs and equipment, as needed. The hospital provides medical consultations, a pharmacy, lab services, x-ray services, and daytime emergency services. This hospital began with the vision of Dr. Silvia Martinez (Director of the Luke Society) to build a hospital for a community of people who couldn’t afford medical services. This target group includes many Haitians who have left their country to pursue a better life in the D.R., only to find out that their life of poverty more or less followed them to the other side of the island. The hospital serves an area of over 100,000 people in five communities. There are several social classes that can be served in this area, so our partner sees this as a wonderful opportunity to become self-sufficient in time. Patients and their families continue to respond to the good news of the Gospel that they hear from the hospital’s chaplain. Some patients have come to the Lord and are attending church regularly, for which we praise the Lord!
