Serving At The Crossroads
Donations
Overview
On an on-going basis, SATC’s intention is to assemble the resources, talents, programs and services that will enable the indigenous population of the de Copan region of Honduras to benefit from the establishment of a healthcare center. This facility will offer a diversified and multidisciplinary approach to diagnose, treat, educate and care for those it serves so as to give patients hope, invigorate the spirit of the community and enable families to break out of the cycle of poverty and illness that entraps the impoverished.
Our mission is to gather the resources necessary to build, equip and sustain a medical clinic in the town of La Entrada, ensuring that it has a dependable supply chain of medications and services that will be administered by Honduran medical and dental healthcare practitioners empowered to relieve the pain and suffering of impoverished patients and their families with our help.
- In all of our activities, relationships and transactions, it is our intention to act with openness and integrity
- We recognize that the resources that we have assembled are not ours, but have been entrusted to us for the purposes of sharing and improving the lives of those who are impoverished
- We value people for their time, talents and faith, not for their material wealth; we see all people as our brothers and sisters deserving of an opportunity to develop their gifts, unencumbered by disease, medical condition, social standing, poverty or religious faith
- Everyone receiving treatment at the clinic will be expected to pay something for the services rendered, but those who do not have the means, will not be denied the use of the facility
