About Our Mission
| The genesis of Medical Mission South Haiti was with a small team in March, 2005, in Les Cayes, in southern Haiti. We saw patients with Jacob Baptiste, a Haitian medical student we had befriended previously but had never met. The experience was very positive, so we returned in November 2005 with a group of seventeen, including four doctors. We began working with Haitian medical students from the Haitian Academy, setting education of Haitian medical professionals as one of our main goals . These students have now graduated from the Academy and work along side us as doctors.In March of 2007, we returned with a team that saw patients at Charlotte, an extremely poor community outside Les Cayes, where people literally live in mud huts with dirt floors, cook over open fires, and have no access to health care, clean water, or even latrines. Since then, we have seen patients from Pwoje Espwa (Project Hope), an orphanage for over 600 children outside Les Cayes, which was founded by Father Marc Boisvert, an American catholic priest and ex-Marine, and from its surrounding communities. We have continued to provide care at Charlotte, and also at the prison in Les Cayes, and on Isle la Vache, an island off the coast. Sister Flora, a French Canadian nun, has an orphanage there with sixty children, many of them severely handicapped, that she has run for 27 years. In March of 2008 team member Teresa Hall RN taught CPR to our Haitian Doctors and our November 2008 trip took two separate teams allowing us to treat patients for two weeks. To date, Medical Missions South Haiti have made fourteen trips to Haiti since March 2005, seeing over 8000 patients, taking thousands of pounds of medical supplies, and have taken almost sixty Americans with us on our teams, many of them multiple times. In November 2009 we divided our 19 member group into two teams and joined with Hope for Haiti to do outreach clinics to poor Haitians who would otherwise not receive health care. All of this would not be possible without your support and donations and we want to thank you! |
