Miss Peggy's Clinic is located in Sandy Bay in Roatan Honduras.
Peggy, an Ohio
native, is a nurse who has been serving on Roatan since June, 2001. She works in
a clinic in her own home in Sandy Bay and shares donated medications and
supplies with the hospital and other clinics on the Island. She is currently
facilitating the construction of a new clinic in La Colonia Balfate. All
services, medications and supplies are offered free of charge. She also
coordinates a kids' club similar to VBS and hosts medical doctors, dentists and
nurses interested in assisting in the clinic. She helps with coordination of
construction teams, medical teams, and individuals
who would like to volunteer
their time on Roatan. There are plans to build other clinics, a daycare and
school in La Colonia along with the clinic.
Greatest Needs:
- Donations of medications and supplies, from churches,
clinics, hospitals, and individuals including ibuprofen, acetaminophen, cough
and cold preparations, vitamins, especially children's vitamins, antibiotics,
diabetic, hypertensives, antacid, arthritis medications and diabetic strips for
Basic, One Touch, Elite, or Prestige glucometers.
- Pediatric medication's are especially needed as 3/4's of
the patients are children.
- Medical equipment donations are needed and need to be in
good working order, with manuals included, please.
- Medical professionals who wish to come to Roatan for 1
week to 1 year to assist in the clinic and with other medical projects on the
island.
- Wisdom, guidance and labor for coordinating the
construction of the new clinic and other building projects in La Colonia,
Balfate.
- Monetary donations for the new medical clinic.
Wish List for the Clinic Although we try to utilize existing Honduran resources, we do appreciate
donations of medications
and supplies that are not freely available. We welcome
visitors at our clinic in Sandy Bay.
