Haiti, Grand Goave (Thozin)

May 18, 2010 - June 3, 2010

A team of 14 traveled to Grand Goave, Haiti alongside Team Leader Jackie Edinborough to work alongside our partners at Haiti ARISE Ministries. The team, under the direction of Dr. Bob Cutler, hosted 8 days of medical clinics. The clinics typically see 900–1000 patients, with some patients needing follow up and even surgical care. The team also has two specialists that helped many Haitians deal with the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by the earthquake that devastated the country on January 12th, 2010.
