A big concern for our patients is well baby care. If a baby is born less than 5 pounds 8 ounces, there are many health concerns that can drastically decrease their chance of survival & every ½ to 1 ounce of weight gain is critical. For a majority of our patients, overall health and nutrition is a subject that they do not have a lot of knowledge about nor have access too and results in underweight babies. Our doctors & our staff spend a lot of time providing education on this subject. The best way to see if a baby is growing appropriately is to weigh them on special baby scales. We have 2 scales currently but they weigh differently, which causes confusion among the staff & in follow up with patients. For example, a baby weighing 6 ½ pounds would state 6.5 pounds on one scale while the other weighs in pounds and ounces or 6 pounds 8 ounces. This discrepancy in measurements can be very confusing and 3 ounces could be the difference between a healthy baby or very malnourished one.

One of our doctors was walking around the clinic with a baby that was clearly not his. When asked why, he said that he was looking for the Behavioral Therapist so she could meet with the mom who was experiencing some signs of postpartum depression. He was holding the baby so the mom could have some alone time with the therapist. These are the kinds of things that happen here every day...Raphael Health Center is your neighborhood clinic and will treat you like family no matter who you are or what background you come from.

Suggested Donations

  • Free Throw Master ($10.00)
  • Three Point King ($50.00)
  • Slam Dunk Champion ($100.00)

Funding Needs

Two baby scales that weigh in pounds and ounces for a total cost of $4,100. 55% of our patients are at 100% of Federal Poverty Guidelines and would not have the access to high quality care and education for themselves nor raising healthy babies. A majority of our patients have some sort of serious trauma in their background and thus have issues outside of their health that they worry about on a daily basis. Your donation can help ease the burden for well baby care.
