ANTIGUA'S HERMANO PEDRO

Marian got us a tour of Hermano Pedro's Hospital. (top right hand corner) The hospital was founded in 1663 by Dominican friars. Its current use is a home & care facility for over 300 patients incl. the elderly, orphaned, mentally disabled, & a large number of cerebral palsy patients. It relies heavily on volunteers - quite a number of doctors & nurses from the U.S. & Canada.
