Hi all!
I just came back from Haiti last night. Had time to check on the status of the construction of the new surgical suite, the new clinic and more importantly I deliver the first $10/month some of you agreed on to help the poor kids.
I was accopanied by my wife, Dr Ted Kaplan (pediatrician in Orlando) and his wife Elizabeth (nurse at Arnold Palmer).
We had a great time going from home to home (if you can call some of these structures “home”) to visit these childen and their families.
Thank you all for your help.

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.
