Good Shepherd Clinic

The Good Shepherd Clinic is located in the close proximity of thirteen Quiche villages.  Excellent patient care, coupled with purposeful evangelistic ministry, is the heart and soul of the clinic.  Many patients have chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease which have not been treated because of severe poverty. The clinic offers low-cost visits and medications in a caring, culturally-relevant atmosphere. In 2024 the clinic saw over 2500 patients and since its inception has served over 20,000 patients. The clinic also has a regular Christian counselor. Largely due to his efforts, many patients have surrendered their lives to Christ.

The clinic is staffed by Christians and serves the local communities not only on-site but also holds mobile clinics and makes evangelistic home visits every Friday.  The clinic must operate within budget constraints, with patients paying a symbolic amount for services rendered.  Clinic and community health services are directed by Dr. Vicki Grossmann (Director of Operations) with on-site medical services overseen by Dr. Carlos Fernandez (clinic director).

 

On-going and long-term needs include funds for medications and laboratory/radiologic exams, as well as funds to pay national professionals.  If you would like to support the clinic please click on the "Donate" button and select "Clinic/Training Center" when you give.

Good Shepherd Ministries in Guatemala is a ministry of International Indigenous Community Development (IICD) in partnership with Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina and North Carolina Baptists on Mission.

Good Shepherd Ministries helps individuals in indigenous communities to become followers of Christ as they focus on spiritual, physical, emotional and community needs.
