Clínica de Familia La Romana’s unique, multi-disciplinary, family-centered approach includes specialized medical care, social services, community outreach, prevention, training, and education programs.
Invest in our future
For more than 25 years, Clínica de Familia La Romana has been a vital provider of affordable, high-quality healthcare services in the eastern Dominican Republic, serving more than 40,000 clients annually. In response to growing demand, Clínica de Familia is launching a capital campaign, with the support of the Children’s Global Health Fund, to build a new outpatient health center on recently acquired land in La Romana’s fastest-growing area.
Why this investment matters
The new clinic building will enable service expansion to insured or self-pay clients who can subsidize the care of others in need, like clients with HIV and those from vulnerable populations, who account for more than half of Clínica de Familia´s overall budget. This will put Clínica de Familia on the path to becoming a self-sustaining organization and ultimately reduce its reliance on grants and donations.
The $7 million investment will fund the construction of a three-story, 50,000-square-foot building with an environmentally sustainable design located on a main thoroughfare in the fastest-growing part of La Romana. All large philanthropic gifts come with naming opportunities.
- Build Higher | $2,000,000 will fund a floor of the new building
- Expand Clinical Exam Rooms | $1,000,000 will fund the clinician exam room wing of the new building
- Improve Pediatric Care | $500,000 will fund construction of the pediatric wing of the new building
- Enhance HIV Testing Services | $500,000 will fund expansion of our onsite laboratory
- Create Safe Play Areas | $50,000 will fund the play areas in and outside the clinic
