Clínica Luz Y Vida
Light and Life Clinic in San Luis is the principal medical facility for 45,000 people in the area, along with the only clinic open 24/7. Healthcare in San Luis, Honduras, faces many challenges, with families often struggling to access the care they need due to limited resources and staff shortages in local clinics. Many have to travel long distances for specialized treatments, and clinics often operate with scarce supplies. This can be particularly difficult for mothers and children, who are most vulnerable. Yet, in the face of these hardships, there is hope.
Location
San Luis, Honduras, is a tranquil town nestled in the mountainous Santa Bárbara region, surrounded by lush green hills, coffee plantations, and dense forests. Its scenic landscape includes rolling valleys, misty peaks, and winding rivers. The area's natural beauty, coupled with its cool climate, offers a peaceful, rural charm, though its remoteness presents challenges for accessing services like healthcare.
Our Goal
The goal of the clinic is to provide accessible and quality healthcare to the local community, particularly addressing the needs of underserved populations. We aim to offer essential medical services, improve spiritual well being of the people, and manage common illnesses in a region with limited healthcare access. Additionally, the clinic strives to create long-term health improvements by providing preventive care, health education, and by working alongside local professionals to strengthen the community's overall well-being, both spiritually and medically.
Who We Serve
We serve the municipal of San Luis, which has an urban area of 10,000-15,000 people and a rural population of 30,000 people.
