LIFE Medical Center

Situated in Cluj-Napoca (in the historic and legendary region of Romania known as Transylvania), LIFE Medical Center is HealthBridge Global's current partnership project.  LIFE Medical Center is a development project of the ProVita Clinic Foundation of Romania - a non-profit Romanian Christian healthcare organization that has been active in Romania for 14 years.  HealthBridge Global made an initial 3-year commitment to do all we can to help see this project completed. 
In general, LIFE Medical Center will be a women's and children's clinic, with the centerpiece being a birth-center.  LIFE Medical Center will be unlike any other environment in Romania in which women can experience the process of birth.  The birth-center concept will introduce numerous unique ideas to the way maternity care is approached in Romania and will have the result of restoring privacy and family involvement to the birthing process. Because of the values behind the project, it will also serve to instill both dignity and value for human life; both that of the mother's and of the child's.
In addition to baby delivery services, LIFE Medical Center will provide pediatric, internal medicine, routine gynecology, sonography, laboratory, laparoscopic surgery, emergency C-section, and Neo-Natal Intensive Care services.  LIFE Medical Center will offer all services to patients at a fair price.  This will allow the clinic to be sustainable and provide on-going financial support to the non-profit work of the ProVita Clinic Foundation.  The center will offer financial help and scholarships to those in need who qualify.
 
To summarize, LIFE Medical Center will offer women a caring and compassionate alternative for birthing, while also spurring the non-profit work of the Foundation foward...all in a sustainable manner.  For details about the philosophy behind this approach, plesae download the project summary mentioned above, or contact us directly.
     Research has indicated that women's healthcare, specifically maternity care, is one of the most un-changed areas of Romania's healthcare system.  It's the area that shows the greatest need for practical improvment.  It also provides great potential for impacting mothers and families with the life-changing message of new spiritual LIFE, as the staff and leadership demonstrate to patients the love and compassion of Christ in every interaction.  The word "LIFE" in the center's name, holds deep meaning and value for the local Romanians who are developing this project, and we are standing with them.
                                   HELP US BUILD A BRIDGE in ROMANIA.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Address the whole health of individuals in need, helping raise physical and spiritual health of all we impact. We seek to do this by partnering with local leaders who understand the needs of their people best, and who are in a position to make sustained and long term impacts in their lives.

Local partnerships. Funding on a shared responsibility basis. Sustainable business planning for projects. Relinquishing control to local leaders. Dependency on God.

We leverage partnerships in the nations we work in. We don't come with ready made solutions. We partner with local leaders, who have already demonstrated an ability to rally local resources, to meet local needs. WIthout those local partnerships, outside solutions would fall flat and prove to be more expensive.

We've partnered in India for over 15 years to provide ongoing care to some of the poorest people groups.

We've developed a full service women community clinic in Eastern Europe - this is a fully self-sustaining clinic.

What's next - a full service maternity hospital in Eastern Europe, and a visioncare/dentalcare training facility in India.
