Medical Clinic Construction

St. Catherine's supported the construction of a medical clinic at the San Alfonso Episcopal Mission Church which is located 18 miles from Ambato, Ecuador. The construction of the clinic was completed on November 25, 2000.  The work was accomplished by parishoners and by people from the surrounding indigenous community.   The second phase includes installation of the medical equipment and furniture, inspection of the clinic by the Provincial Director of Health, and approval. to send the
doctor to the facility. The clinic will be staffed by an Ecuadorian doctor and serve the surrounding community.

The following photos show the construction work.
