Description:

In January of 2015 we opened our first permanent medical clinic in Cap-Haitien. We have already seen incredible impact as we are able to help so many without access to the medical help they desperately need. It is the only facility of this kind to the population of 3 million+ people in the vicinity of Cap-Haitien.

Mobile Teams

Medical teams from the United States provide mobile clinics from time to time throughout the year. Working in conjunction with our education program, community workers will be trained in basic first aid and fundamental health practices. Using satellite technology, a permanent Internet link providing audio and video communication will be established so that physicians in the United States can provide remote consultation between visits.

Organizational Base: Holy Springs, Georgia

Other Programs: Community workers to be trained in basic first aid and fundamental health practices; microfinance, building schools, evangelism
