As Friends of St. Anne’s continued to help complete buildings and provide scholarships for St. Anne’s Girls’ School, they recognized the need for a basic healthcare facility for the students and the surrounding community. The nearest clinic to Kapkemich was miles away in a neighboring town, leaving the community significantly under-served when it came to health care and health education. And so began the Virginia Wright Health Clinic, which entered the planning phase in 2015 and was officially opened to the community of Kapkemich in 2017. Now the community has access to reliable healthcare 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year – providing the community with care whenever they need.

The Virginia Wright Health Clinic was originally designed to be a primary care clinic where patients could come to be treated for general ailments, chronic illnesses (such as diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid disorders) as well as infectious diseases like malaria, brucellosis, and tuberculosis. The clinic also provides immunizations and treatments for lacerations, infections, and parasites.
