CCH operates a Primary Care and PT-Rehab Clinic, each of which is fully staffed by Haitian medical professionals. On average, the CCH Clinics serve more than 15,000 patients annually – providing access to quality healthcare to those who would otherwise not have it. Patients are treated with kindness and humility, and although patients are asked to pay a small and culturally-appropriate consultation fee for services, no man, woman or child is ever turned away because of inability to pay.
CCH staff and volunteers also train Haitian medical professionals through classroom-based and hands-on learning. Training participants include CCH medical staff as well as staff and volunteers from the local public hospital and surrounding clinics. Given its reputation and infrastructure in-country, CCH is also well-positioned to coordinate also research projects and other collaborative activities.
CCH is committed to mobilizing its clinics, its partner schools and a number of other institutional and individual partners to promote community-wide approaches to wellness. We partner with communities in multi-pronged ways that often include healthcare. A CCH mobile clinic brings doctors and nurses to provide health check ups at 4 partner schools each year. Year-round, CCH staffs 3 schools with nurses who treat emergent needs and lead health education lessons for students. We also bring our mobile clinic to Community Health and Wellness Days with a focus on health & wellness education and awareness raising around services available in the region.
14 year old patient, Joe, walked into the CCH rehab clinic with his mom and a severe undiagnosed spinal injury. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of our Haitian staff, US volunteers and many Coalition members the world over, he’s had life-saving surgery.
