Sarah’s Place - Grace Children’s Hospital

“The hope and dream of every parent is for their child to receive medical care when they are sick. The poor in the Puerto Plata region of the Dominican Republic are desperate for a place that focuses on the health of children. The closest paediatric hospital is over 4 hours away, which is unaffordable when you can barely feed your family. For the poor to be able to take their children to a first-class hospital with highly skilled professionals, fully equipped with medical labs, testing capabilities, and treatment rooms will be a dream-come-true. This paediatric hospital will serve the poor and demonstrate God’s love and mercy for generations to come.” - The Samaritan Foundation 

The Sarah Tapley Foundation has partnered with the Samaritan Foundation in providing the Puerto Plata region with much needed exceptional and inclusive healthcare. For the past couple of years, Grace Paediatric Centre has been under construction and is projected to be fully operational in the summer of 2022. The girls wing of the hospital will be called “Sarah’s Place” in honour of Sarah’s legacy. The Sarah Tapley Foundation has hosted multiple fundraisers to contribute to the completion of this hospital. We are proud to have Sarah’s legacy represented this way and know that this hospital will be a place of healing for many children for years to come.
