It’s
a beautiful morning on the remote Pacific coast of Nicaragua. The sun
is shining, there isn’t a cloud in the sky. A gentle breeze sweeps over
the hills and it seems like paradise.
But
when you look a little closer, you see the poor villages of Limon and
Tola. You see one-room shacks filled with people. You see that not
everyone living here thinks of it as paradise… they’re struggling to
survive.
But
there is one place that gives them hope. It’s a tiny building at the
end of a long, dusty road. This building has a line of villagers
curling out the door… all waiting for Dr. Flores and his team to give
them the medical attention they need.

Summary of Activities 2008 and Challenges and Opportunities for 2009
Vision:
The Roberto Clemente Clinic seeks to provide quality emergency and preventative health care services in a manner that is efficient, effective, and respectful of the dignity of its patients. In order to achieve this, the clinic must acquire, develop and maintain the technological capabilities and superior human resources necessary to become a self-sufficient entity in the coming years.
Mission:
The mission of the clinic is to provide services in general healthcare and emergency and preventive medicine to the rural population in the region where it is located as well as to those visitors coming to the area. The clinic will provide low-income children and elderly patients with subsidized care when necessary. In general, the Clinic will coordinate with governmental institutions in conducting local public health campaigns for vaccination for disease prevention and epidemic controls that are necessary to maintain a good standard of health care in the region, with a particular focus on communities with less access to healthcare in Nicaragua.
