PHS currently uses the Placencia Village Community Center for its monthly clinics.

 Unfortunately, the Community Center is often a less than ideal location because of lack of hot water and adequate lighting, scheduling conflicts and often conflicting Community Center uses that include the Village's day care center, polling place, and community events locale.  (For more information, see our Why a New Clinic page.)

Plus, PHS holds little hope of purchasing its own property.  The cost of acquiring property on the narrow Peninsula is prohibitive, and becoming more prohibitive every day as foreign investors drive up land prices.

How You Can Help

In 2006 we established the PHS Building to raise $55,000BZ to build and furnish a facility for the Placencia Humane Society.  Thanks to the generosity of many people, we have already raised over $6000BZ.

Resolving our early challenge of locating a site, the Placencia Village Council and the Rotary Club have made land available to us in the new airport complex where units for fire and rescue as well as emergency medical care will be housed.

With the site established, we are now gearing up to meet our financial goal

 

 

PHS needs to raise BZ$55,000 (US$27,500) to construct a concrete block building containing a surgery/ examining room, a waiting room/office and a small apartment for a visiting veterinarian, including electrical wiring, lighting, plumbing, tiled floor, hot and cold water, covered verandah for additional waiting area, ceiling fans, stairs and septic tank.

In addition, another BZ$10,000 (US$5,000) is needed to purchase a surgical table, refrigerator for medicines, office equipment (2 desks, filing cabinet, office chair, waiting room chairs), construction of an enclosed area for surgery recovery for pets, toilet, sink, and lighting fixtures.

Through the generous donation of Marcia and Peter Fox who have contributed BZ$1,000 to kick-off the PHS Building Fund, PHS has raised BZ$6,000 toward the total cost of BZ$65,000 (US$32,500) to provide Placencia residents and pets with a permanent location for veterinary care.

Donors who contribute BZ$500 or more will have their names inscribed on a plaque to be mounted at the new Clinic.
