Corazon Contento Update September 2020

Dear Friends of Corazon Contento

Since March, CID CORAZON CONTENTO has been closed and has been serving all 250 of its disabled patients only online. This has been a difficult time and we have overcome serious financial difficulties. After a month of preparing a protocol, we have decided to reopen our doors under strict health and safety measures. Parents call us every day to ask when they will be able to return to the center because many cases such as autism or hyperactivity need to return to routines and therapeutic goals. It will be a slow process where we will prioritize only the cases of the children who need it the most and we will take measures to protect the health of our users and our workers. We will continue to promote online work as we seek to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities.
