Hospitalito “Roppe” Dispensario Solidario
En 1967, Tejutla fue uno de los lugares elegido por Dios para ser anfitriona de la misión Belga, encabezada por el Rvdo. Juan Vander Vaeren, Srita. enfermera Marlen Spaas Josten, Srita. Enfermera Nini Spaas Josten y otras personas misioneras, tanto laicas como religiosas, entre ellas Rvdo. Juan María Boxus, quienes trabajaron incansablemente durante muchos años ayudando a nuestra gente, hasta que un 20 de enero de 1979 la inolvidable y recordada Srita. Marlen Spaas Josten Falleció piadosamente, dejando en el corazón de todos el noble recuerdo de su mano caritativa mitigando los momentos de sufrimiento y dolor de los enfermos.
Esta remodelacion que hoy vemos es gracias a la bondad y ayuda de amigos de Bélgica y Holanda que brindan su apoyo moral y economico al Hospitalito y Dispensario y que siguen apoyando entre ellos: Fam. Spaas Josten, Hnas. Honings, Dr. Cleasse, Hna. Rita Gielen, Congregación Hnas. de María, Niños de Colegios y tantas personas que se unen a este gesto para que se siga brindando atención a las personas que acuden en busca de la recuperación
