November 2006 Mobile Clinic

A group of 12, sponsored by Rivermont Presbyterian Church, Chattanooga, Tennessee, in cooperation with the Children's Nutrition Program, provided medical and dental care for over 800 patients during four days of mobile clinics. The Chattanooga group, including physicians, nurses, a dentist, and pharmacist, was fortified with two nurses from Lilburn, Georgia and a pharmacist from Ann Arbor, Michigan. On Friday, lectures were provided for the medical and nursing staff, and other teaching presentations were made at the nursing school. During the week, we were able to provide emergency consultation and care for several inpatients. 

Our travel was uneventful.  With appropriate attention to travel arrangements, we were able to resolve concerns over security when entering and exiting Port-au-Prince, and Mr. Murat provided excellent security as we were entering and exiting the country. 

It was a heartwarming time to return to Leogane and see many old friends at Hopital St Croix.  Please take time to see the photographs of our trip!
