Haitian Health Foundation - A Charitable Outreach to Neighbors in Need
97 Sherman Street, Norwich, CT 06360, (860) 886-4357, HHF@Haitianhealthfoundation.org.
In Haiti: Klinik Pep Bondye-a, 10 Rue Rochasse, Jeremie, Haiti, West Indies, Phone: 011-509-284-5216.
A volunteer effort of health professionals begun in 1982 has grown into an outpatient health care facility supported by a nondenominational foundation. Volunteers donate their time and talents to supplement our staff in Haiti. Volunteers travel to Jeremie from America, Canada and Europe at their own expense, to share their skills and resources with the poor. The third floor of the clinic is a volunteer residence capable of housing visiting volunteers. There is a three-bedroom hospitality house for use by long-term volunteers serving at the clinic. Visiting volunteer physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners offer specialized treatment to patients. These health professionals bring with them the latest procedures and technology. In addition, we are seeking volunteer electricians, plumbers, diesel mechanics, and general "handy" people for maintenance of our facilities.
