Memorable Impact Stories
Among countless stories of impact, these are a few:
Our team's overnight efforts and subsequent orthopedic surgery gave a young man who suffered a broken spine a second chance at mobility.
In 2016 our dental team arrived with the first portable dental x-ray unit. A patient with critically impacted infected wisdom teeth was able to be successfully treated without permanent nerve damage or sinus perforation.
During the COVID epidemic the resurgence of Cholera in Haiti also became a threat. Father Faublas directed the construction of hand washing stations and an entire water treatment system providing safe water for washing and drinking accessible to the entire community.
During the recent violent uprisings the Sacre Coeur compound was vandalized robbed and the guard dogs were murdered. Repairs were made, a higher security wall was built, and new guard dogs were purchased.
In witnessing and participating in this kind of work, we're reminded of the profound difference we can make.
Current Status and Ongoing Needs
Today, the Parish of Sacre Coeur and the Whitney Clinic operate continuously, guided and managed by Father Faublas, Haitian physicians, a Haitian clinic manager, while being supported by our board. Our physician works in close consultation with the two physicians who currently work at the Whitney Clinic. Our nurse practitioner and our pharmacist work directly
with the Haitian manager of the Whitney Clinic regarding staffing, supplies, medication orders and a host of other responsibilities. On average 1300 patients are treated at the clinic monthly. The community comes to us first because we have better equipment than the local hospital. Despite our progress, the need for resources is ongoing. Our ability to deliver exceptional care hinges on the generosity of individuals moved by our mission.
