Fundación Corazón Del Siervo (FCDS)
Drs. Francisco and Diane Sabado have been living in the Dominican Republic since the fall of 1995 when they moved there to study medicine. Their vision is to create an environment of collaboration and cooperation among all those who seek to advance the common good in the Dominican Republic, and to provide home care for children and adults facing terminal illness. Their dream is to see a hospice and palliative medicine specialty recognized by the medical community in the Dominican Republic and a hospice home established for children and adults that would provide a place to continue living as they face death. In addition, FCDS is involved in community development in garbage dumps and migrant communities in the Dominican Republic.
