- Our
April Medical Mission to Hinche, Haiti was a huge
success. 25 team members, including doctors, nurses, dentists,
hygienists and support staff treated well over 1,000 needy patients.
Sadly, the team saw a large increase in serious illnesses, especially
among children, in the aftermath of January's earthquake.
- By now everyone knows that
Port-au-Prince, Haiti and surrounding area was struck
by a
major earthquake on January 12.
St. Monica's had a team on the ground within 5
days providing medical care at a makeshift field hospital and
making safe water available to hard-hit communities around
Port-au-Prince. Just a few weeks after that, one team member traveled back
down to Haiti with hundreds of tents donated by St. Monica's
parishioners and worked with our Haitian team members to get safe water
to refugees in the Hinche area. Please visit our
Earthquake Response
Page where you can learn more about our relief effort.
Also, take a moment to watch our
Haiti
Earthquake Video and our
Tents
for Haiti Video.
