Wrapping Up Dec Haiti 2019

All of our team members are back in the U.S. safe and sound! As a final blog we wanted to highlight some of the things accomplished this trip.
  • Approximately 180 individual patients were seen throughout the two weeks. This number does not include the people seen from the mobile clinic. And many of those 180 patients were seen more than once for follow-ups.
  • We extended our reach with home visits to those who had great difficulty in getting to the clinic. These were eye-opening and humbling. We saw how the average people live with little material goods, while being rich relationally.
  • We had our first mobile clinic in a town 30 minutes outside of Vaudreuil. Many of these patients then travelled to Bethesda for follow-up visits the next week.
  • We continued to deepen personal and professional relationships with the other medical professions at Bethesda in order to grow referrals from each entity.
  • We held our third formal education course to PT techs.
  • All along the way, we mentored the PT staff of Bethesda. They will continue to provide excellent care after our departure. 
All of these accomplishments are only possible because of God. Without his guidance, provisions, blessings, mercy and grace, none of this would be possible. It is a privilege to work alongside Haitian PT techs, nurses, doctors, radiology techs and more to serve the community. It is more and more evident every year that despite the political turmoil and unrest, God is still very much moving in this country and in these people.

Thank you for your prayers and support to the team this year. We all look forward to returning again some day soon to continue building on the work God is doing. Will you be joining us?

Merry Christmas!
