Thomas Kelley, MD presents a check for HHMP from the SCMS Foundation to Ralph Gousse, MD at the February, 2007, SCMS meeting.
Haiti Help Med Plus is a very special charity effort being directed by SCMS member Dr. Ralph Gousse.
HHMP is bringing hope and improved medical care to the back country of Haiti — the poorest country in the western hemisphere (where over 40% of the population have no healthcare). HHMP has made great progress in transforming a health clinic into a 10 bed hospital to provide basic maternity, medicine, pediatric, laboratory and radiological services. Their next step is building operating and radiology rooms — which will require around $30,000 to complete.
SCMS encourages our physicians and office personnel to help HHMP raise the funds they need. Office staffs can enjoy watching the hospital grow, and seeing what their contributions helped accomplish. Pictures of the hospital and people who will benefit are on the HHMP website or the hospital’s progress can be followed via pictures to be put on the SCMS website over the next year.

Hi all!
Just wanted to keep you updated with our progress.
The hospital in Paillant is doing well and is seeing now more patients thanks to an improved laboratory and the fact that we have now two full time physicians. We have now electricity from a generator and a back-up system donated by Mr Victor Boulos.
The hospital is now also linked to the rest of the world thanks to a canadian organization who gave us an internet communication system. The doctors have used it 2 days ago to discuss an interesting case with me.
Henri Jabon and I have made three trips over the last 3 months, the last one on June 20th. We have brought some more medicine and equipments. Dr Charles-Antoine Louis has been very busy supervising the renovation of the residence for the nurses and doctors. We were very happy with the work done.
We still hope to be able to bring this year an x-ray machine and to start the construction of the new operating room and a new outpatient clinic.
Enclosed is a letter I received last week from a 9th grader who sent us a check for $959.40 to support our effort. I will let you be the judge.
A bientot,
Ralph Gousse

Hi All!
As you might recall from a previous correspondance, The seminole County Medical Society had adopted our project for Haiti. Tonight at their regular meeting I was presented with a check of $1500.00 toward the construction of our operating room and diagnostic center in Paillant. I was able to say a few words explaining our endeavour and also thanking the members of the society for their help. As we get more docs to know about the project I am sure more help will follow. A big thank to the society and to Dr Glen Davis who was the main motivator.
I am sending you a picture of the check and a brochure the Society produced to deliver in all the offices. Good beginning for the year. As usual I will keep you informed of all we are doing.

We had a nice fundraising event hosted by Yanick and Francois Roland at Danton Nicolas’s ranch. This was the time for everyone to get exposed to our projects in the areas of Miragoane and Paillant.
We all had a great time and at the end the poor people of Haiti were about $4000.00 richer. Thank you Oriantus for that great cooking! Congratulations to all of you for your great help. Together Everyone Accomplishes More!
