CREER PROJECT SALUD “HEALTH”
In January of 2010, the CREER service team extended their vision to incorporate health and wellness-centered services for the people of Costa Rica. The pilot project of CREER's Project Salud "Health", the La Florida Clinic, has united us once again with our home village of La Florida.
Recently we have supported the demolition and initial stages of reconstruction the La Florida Health Clinic. The clinic had suffered significant destruction and disrepair due to foundational shifts and water damage over the years and jeopardized the safety of its staff and patients. It was unable to meet the healthcare needs of the village and needs total reconstruction. The officials of Costa Rica granted the village permission to demolish and reconstruct the clinic, but will not provide physical nor financial support towards these efforts.
The families in La Florida do not have the necessary resources among themselves and are asking for help so that they too may have clean and safe medical treatment available to themselves, their children and their community. CREER is now conducting multiple fundraising and informational events to provide financial, educational, and physical assistance to the reconstruction project. Fundraising opportunities are scarce in this mountainous region of Costa Rica, so the success of the project rests entirely upon the charity of those who share these values of community and wellness and are willing to contribute. If you would like to contribute to the develpment of the La Florida clinic, please use the link below or contact a CREER representative.
