Our Clinic Will Have a New Name!
When HWHL’s new maternity/surgical addition opens in 2023, we will be offering much more than primary health care so the facility will be renamed Waterfield Medical Center to reflect the additional services offered. The final construction is wrapping up with the painting of the addition and we’ll be furnishing the building soon with medical equipment.
In December volunteers traveled from Tennessee and Pennsylvania to join the construction team and HWHL staff to assist with the finish work on the maternity/surgical addition.

On January 2nd 1,050 children gathered outside Dr. Chris Hena’s home to be fed and receive gifts of shoes, clothing and books. What an overwhelming blessing for the children being welcomed as well as those serving.
Mobility Carts Assembled
HWHL’s Community Health Workers visit 90 villages in Margibi County where a number of residents are challenged by a lack of mobility. Mobility Worldwide has designed hand-cranked mobility carts that allow physically challenged people to go where ordinary wheelchairs won’t go. They have begun to supply cart kits to HWHL for assembly and distribution. The first of these carts were assembled at Waterfield and tested by Waterfield staff members earlier this month. Visit the Mobility Worldwide website to discover more about their life-changing tool for our brothers and sisters with mobility issues!
Our plan is to continue to send out these newsletters on a quarterly basis so we don’t overwhelm your inboxes with emails! For updates between newsletters, please visit our web site and Facebook page.
We treasure your partnership in this mission. Your donations to this ministry are greatly appreciated. We’d love to hear from you anytime with your comments or questions.
