Confirmed commune based on Cite Soliel. Lpar 2/4/11
Our clinics are located in Cite Soleil – a slum on the outskirts of Port au Prince. We depend on the help of volunteers like you to help treat patients in dire need of medical attention. For over 2 years, we have brought Doctors, Mid-level providers, Paramedics, Pharmacists, Nurses and non-medical support staff to this poverty-stricken village and its nearly 300,000 residents – providing basic, emergency, and preventative care.
We work closely with our Haitian partners to ensure that our volunteers are taken care of properly while in Cite Soleil. We stay together at a local hotel (meeting basic American standards) and our partners provide us with translators, patient intake functionality, and safety and security precautions.
This type of volunteer work is a major contribution and an absolutely vital component to our cause. However it is not without cost. Team members donate not only their time and effort but also pay for their travel, lodging and food expenses. The cost for one weekend is approximately $700 and team members are encouraged to keep receipts of these costs for tax purposes. This may seem costly, but the help it brings is priceless.

mission: -> from website:
The Early Vision of Haiti Clinic: Having been born of a simple request by a neighborhood resident to “come and do a clinic”, the first effort of this group was just that. In late June, 2007, several Florida practitioners from Brevard and Indian River Counties held a makeshift clinic in Cite Soleil and treated 263 patients in 2 days under less than optimal conditions.
Haiti Clinic is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is dedicated to improving healthcare in the impoverished nation of Haiti. Our aim is to provide the resources necessary to utilize the vast knowledge and abilities of healthcare practitioners and other volunteers to impact the lives of some of the poorest people in the Western Hemisphere. This includes access to medications and physicians, basic necessities such as clean water and adequate nutrition, as well as education and sanitation. A dedicated space that is adequate to the task is a must and we have been extremely fortunate to find just that in the Mission Ranch.
Our volunteers come from all over to support this wonderful cause. The people who volunteer their time, talent and resources have a wide variety of backgrounds, religious affiliations and political views but their one commonality is the desire to bring help and hope to the suffering citizens of Haiti.
We create teams that function together as a network – enhancing our ability to bring the needed clinical, physical and financial resources to those in dire need. Moving forward, our aim is to train Haitian community members in healthcare practices and other professions, so that the Clinic will someday function on its’ own. Ultimately, Haiti Clinic envisions itself as a Haitian-run facility, with health staff augmented by periodic visits from American clinicians, generalists and specialists.
