Help with hospital

One of the members of my website is trying to find an address for a hospital in Foggia where her uncle is getting treatment for a brain tumor. She believes San Giovanni is part of the hospital's name. He lives in Celenza Valfortore so Foggia and Campobasso are the largest nearby cities. Do any of our Italian friends on gente think they can look online or venture a guess as to which hospitals she should call to look for him?

there is one huge oespedale in San Giovanni Rotondo ---- San Giovanni is loacated about 30 minutes from the city of Foggia.....My cousin's wife went there for her cancer surgery and we saw it while visiting there.

Isn't the Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza in San Giovanni Rotundo the hospital founded by Padre Pio? If I lived near there that is where I would go!

Thank you so much for looking for me. I will pass the info. to my contact. It is so sad because by pure coincidence, her relatives are some of the people we met when we visited Celenza. In fact, the wife of the man with the tumor is one person I wrote about on my web site on the page about Celenzani in Waterbury. We bought a china box from her store.

Hi Donna...
If you have problems with language at the hospital just let me know and I will willingly make a call to see if that IS the right place.

Could be that we 'may' be able to arange a paid Skype link-up so I could translate for you if it IS the right place. Just let me know if I can help in any way!
