Who We Are
Staffed by the ever-patient and caring Dr. Julio Flores and nurses Martha Miranda and Carlos Peña, the Roberto Clemente Santa Ana Health Clinic supplies free and low-cost medical care to the isolated villages of Limon, Rancho Santana and 41 surrounding communities in southwest Nicaragua. The Clinic is named for Roberto Clemente, who played baseball for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1955 to 1972, when he died trying to help the victims of the devastating Nicaragua earthquake. Registered in 2003 and launched in 2004, the Clinic is the result of generous donations, and also the volunteer efforts of the Rotary Club of Pittsburgh, The Oxford Club, the Granados family and International Living Properties. The Roberto Clemente Clinic strives to educate the community on better health, as well as prevent diseases, cure viruses, and treat injuries and the chronic health problems endemic to this part of the world, where running water and flushing toilets are still quite rare. The opening of the Clinica means an expectant mother who lives in Limón can more easily access necessary prenatal care. It means an injured worker can quickly get safe, efficient medical treatment and prescriptions. It means the residents of Limón and Rancho Santana have a neighborhood doctor who can treat emergencies like allergic reactions, lacerations and asthma attacks, or even perform routine medical exams and testing. The potential benefits of Clinica Rancho Santana are limitless. Some 1,500 local residents, including children and the elderly, rely on the Clinic as their primary means of medical care. And the U.S.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization depends solely on private donations to continue operating. Roberto Clemente Clinic takes great pride in our financial efficiency and accountability. We work to maximize the value of every dollar we receive. More than 87 percent of our expended resources - among the highest of all philanthropic private donors - support our poverty-fighting projects around in Nicaragua. Less than 13 percent of expended resources go toward administrative and fund-raising costs. We encourage you to investigate before you donate.
