Last Wednesday the 2nd of November, the Café de la Leche monthly charitable gathering was held at Central Romana’s new hospital facility, the “Centro Médico” and was according to Alessandra Avanzini, one of the event’s founders “the most successful Café de la Leche ever!”
The perfect excuse to enjoy the company of fellow ladies from the Casa de Campo La Romana community, whilst also giving to a good cause, the Café de la Leche event is always popular, however this month’s activity was more popular than ever – with more than 100 curious ladies in attendance, all anxious to discover Central Romana’s new medical facility, the “Centro Médico.”
Whilst the traditional “coffee and snacks” part of the event was hosted on the ground floor of the “Centro Médico”, Dr José Lopez, the Health Vice President of Central Romana and Director of the Centro Médico led a tour around the hospital’s 3 floors of patient care with a comprehensive pediatric ward on the first level, spacious well-equipped rooms on the second and finally an impressive surgical unit and neonatal ward on the 3rd floor.

About the Cafe de la Leche The Cafe de la Leche is a monthly charitable event, a little like a coffee or a tea party held for the ladies of Casa de Campo (although men are occasionally invited) to boost the milk supplies of the Hogar del Niño in La Romana – which uses the milk to feed the more than 200 babies cared for daily in it’s crib room. Everyone is welcome to attend this great event, it’s totally free – you are just requested to bring some dried/powdered milk, cereals or baby formula to contribute. The Hogar del Niño is a children’s day-care and education center in La Romana which cares for more than 1300 children every day.
