The Good Samaritan Clinic in Batey 7 in the Dominican Republic is the main outreach program of the Volunteers in Medical Committee of the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church. Beginning as a dream around 2000, the clinic has been fully functional and growing since 2002. Primarily serving the medical needs of an impoverished community of 1200 people situated in a rural area surrounded by sugar cane fields, the clinic now reaches out to surrounding communities.
Staffed with a full time physician and health care support staff, the clinic sees over 100 patients a week. Each year, visiting mission teams supplement the efforts performing up to 300 much needed surgeries and providing outreach clinic visits there and in surrounding communities for several thousand other patients.
With the involvement of these volunteers other projects to improve the medical health of the community have included health education classes, the building of latrines and the provision of a new water purification system. A commitment to improve the economic health of the community resulted in the building of an educational building. Sewing technical classes and a baking class will provide technical certificates accepted in area job markets as well as give skills students can use daily. Also, recent flooding by hurricanes yielded an outpouring of much needed disaster relief.
Please consider becoming part of the Adopt a Clinic Day Program.
A donation of $100 covers the daily clinic costs.
Dream Ministries also serves Batey 7 and the surrounding communities in a variety of ways. In addition to the clinic we have provided clean water, done construction projects, provided equipment, purchased vehicles and provide on going support in a number of other ways.
