Returned to Haiti June 11-20, went to Port, Leogane, Jacmel, Ti-Goave, Miragoane, Cayes, Ile a Vache. Saw patients, met with hospital administrators, put in water filters, sent Giovanni Pierre-Louis to Shriners Boston for surgery. The people are healing, but the infrastructure is still devastated. Went with Craig Nelson, Stan Phillips, Gary Garner, Jean-Louis Cenat, and LeoPaul Montes. Great trip, got a lot done.

Returned from Leogane after the earthquake Jan-2010. Bishop Yves Pierre Louis is absolutely the best. Craig Nelson, Steve Hansen, Gary Garner (not alum) and I were able to go to Leogane and help with the crisis medically. Tim Mooney and Stan Phillips replaced us (upgrade). The situation is dire, the people are wonderful, and they need all of us to do everything we can. This is a time of faith and action. The Spirit of the Lord is strong with the members. I feel grateful to have been able to go. Illens Dort is going down Feb 18th to Leogane. My sister in law, Laura Garn RN, and neighbor, Tom Gunn MD, are going with him.

Went back to Haiti July 2002 for another medical mission (also went in 2001). We had myself, 8 residents from Mayo Clinic Scottsdale, my dad, and a college kid (both helped in the pharmacy). Stayed at Healing Hands for Haiti (foundation that Jeff Randle organized), going out to rural clinics to see patients. On our most notable day we held a clinic in Furcy in the moutain home of Baby Doc. The irony was beautiful--a free clinic in his home for his oppressed neighbors. That one day we saw just over 1,000 people. It was a wild and wonderful experience. On our last day we spent half the day winding down at the beach and scuba diving.
We had a great trip again and I highly recommend for anyone wanting to do a medical mission to work through Healing Hands. If you have no medical training they could always use the help as interpreters, medicine dispensers, etc.
