The need for out patient therapy services in Haiti is still immediate and immense. Many injured in the earthquake are still dealing with functional issues and pain and the hurricane October 2016 caused many new problems. Uncontrolled high blood pressure is a major problem with adults age 25 to 60 experiencing full hemiplegia. Children with a variety of medical problems and developmental delays require early intervention.
