Thank You and Merry Christmas


As 2010 draws to a close, I just wanted to say thank you to all of those who have supported me this past year.

Its been a great year, full of many accomplishments and improvements in the clinic. I am so proud of my amazing staff, many of whom are new. The four new women in the clinic: Tatiana, an ambitious doctor with lots of heart; Mary, a skilled medical assistant, always ready with a smile; Luz, a new Christian who is full of enthusiasm and Heidy, our dental assistant who is eager to learn more. I have learned so much from each of these women, their lives and their struggles. I feel privileged to call them friends.

Dr. Maria and her assistant Diana have taken on the new Community Health Program with an energy and love for Bayona. Their educational talks, seminars and tours through the community are changing the way that we help the sick. Prevention is so key and in many cases very simple. People just lack the knowledge to prevent common ailments.

Dr. Jose Miguel has provided great dental care to the children of our schools as well as assistance on 2 dental trips that benefited the community. We hope to be able to see all 500+ school children in the clinic for cleanings before the end of the school year.

In 2011, the ADR/ME partnership will culminate in an Early Intervention Program that I am very excited about and that will greatly benefit many special needs children. I know that Aquilino looks forward to working with therapists, a psychologist and a learning disabilities specialist.

Please continue to pray for the clinic, its employees and their families as well as each and every patient that enters our doors. Our hope is that the love and light of Christ shine brightly in everything that we do.

Merry Christmas to all! Many blessings this winter and a Happy New Year.
Thanks again for all you do,
Anna
