From my perspective, the most essential component of Santa Chiara is the medical clinic. The idea of establishing clinic began percolating in my head when I realized how much time we spent during the first few years shuttling kids to hospital, and then spending endless hours in the hospital trying to navigate a child through the system. I think many of my own health issues stemmed from my spending so much time in the under-staffed, ill-equipped, dirty hospital that were a breading ground for all kinds of illnesses.
