The purpose of the trip is to provide members an opportunity to provide medical services to the people of the Artibonite region (Department) of Haiti. Working in primarily a rural, small town environment, we will be working in local hospitals, cholera treatment units, HIV clinics and general wards, as well as participating in community health projects.
