OUR VETERINARY CLINIC

Dear friends and supporters,

McKee Jaco proudly announces that starting Monday, November 5th, 2007, Dr. Roger Alfaro will be in charge of our clinic in Jacó.

Most of you already know him, as he and his clinic in San Jose has supported our project from day one. Dr. Alfaro is one of the best vets in Costa Rica, and his clinic is definitely one of the best equipped animal clinics in the entire country. For more information about his clinic in Pavas, please go to his website http://www.consultoriodralfaro.com.

Putting the business part of the project in the hands of Dr. Alfaro means that we of McKee will have more time for our own project — time we haven't had since we first started the clinic. Dr. Alfaro, who's not only a great vet but also a big animal lover, is giving us the fantastic opportunity of having the best vets in Costa Rica, using the best modern medical equipment, available to us each and every day. And all this at a fraction of what it would normally cost us.

The clinic will be run by Dr. Jesus Calderon and Dr. Eugenia Bermudes, who will share the on-site duties in order to make sure that there will be always a veterinarian staying in the clinic, ready to tend to any and all emergencies any time of the day or night. So now we will be a REAL 24/7 clinic, like we originally planned!

At this point we would like to thank Dr. Victor Quesada for the wonderful job he did in our clinic during the last 4 months. Dr. Quesada left us on his own wish, going back to his clinic in San Jose. We wish him all the best in his professional and private life.

We will keep you up-to-date with all the news from and around the clinic, and I promise that there will be a lot in the coming days!

Thank you, and talk to you later!

• Doris Schluckebier and Elisabeth Lubbers - both assistants, who not only assist the doctor during the visits and take care of the patients in a proper manner, keeping them clean and fed, but also giving them so much care and love that even separated from their owners, they feel safe in the clinic.
  
  
• Wendy Zeledon - secretary. It was her dream to work in an animal clinic, and now every time she has a free minute she's visiting the patients in the hospital, giving them love and attention.
