                                    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 Dr. Yadin 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 at david@biomedeng.com

earthMed, a medical charitable non-profit founded and directed by local Philadelphia area biomed Lou Schonder, welcomes biomeds interested in volunteering either domestically or overseas to improve the delivery of healthcare in developing countries.
earthMed also welcomes potential medical device donations and medical supply donations.
Lou Schonder served as PAMIA President in 1993-94, and has served on the PAMIA Board in various capacities since 1991.

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.

- Dr. Bill Magee, CEO and Co-founder

At Operation Smile, we measure ourselves by the joy we see on children's faces. We're more than a charity. More than an NGO. We're a mobilized force of medical professionals and caring hearts who provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.

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