Felisane Health Center
Felisane Health Center opened in 2015. The clinic is 2,000 sq ft with exam rooms, pharmacy, birthing room and 2-bed maternity ward.
The health center is named ‘Felisane’ in honor of co-founder Paul Prevost’s mother, who died of stroke complications. Her dying words to 15 year-old Paul were to ‘take care of Eve’ – meaning all women were his ‘sisters’ through Christ. She is one of HAPI’s ‘birth mothers.’
