Clinical Engineering Community for Haiti
In an effort to provide medical device support to Haiti
in the aftermath of this month’s earthquake, clinical engineer

David is assembling a support group, “Clinical Engineering Community for
Haiti.” The group aspires to deliver medical devices and associated support both
during the rescue and recovery phases of
the Haitian Crises. If you have interest in participating with this effort, please contact me,
or contact Dr. David directly

We are
deeply saddened by the
suffering of Haiti’s earthquake victims and we are asking for
your
help as we respond to this medical and humanitarian crisis.Kathy and I, and our
worldwide staff, are working
around the clock to wisely mobilize
resources and volunteers to help victims. We are working with Partners
in Health,
who are on the ground in Haiti, to help provide life-saving
medical
help. As I write, we are planning to:
SHIP nearly 25,000 pounds of
donated lifesaving medical supplies from our warehouses to Haiti – and
requesting more
from our partners.
RUSH operating tables
and enough equipment and supplies to completely stock six operating
rooms.
MOBILIZE teams of
highly-trained surgeons and nurses who will volunteer their time to help
set up medical facilities,
perform surgeries and deliver any medical
care as needed.
Every moment counts and we
need your help. Please send an emergency donation of $50, $100 or
whatever you can.
Your gift will help provide
donated medicines and supplies to Haiti as well as continue our critical
missions to heal
children’s smiles around the world.
Thank you.

palate.
Healing children's smiles. Making the world a better
place.
