Texas Orthopedics has a long-standing and special
relationship with the island nation of Haiti. Following the disastrous
earthquake in 2010, our practice made multiple trips and sent countless staff there
to help with humanitarian efforts—delivering medical supplies, setting up clinics,
performing procedures, donating prostheses, and offering assistance in any way
that we could.
Six years ago, our partnership started with a great
organization called the Mission
of Hope Haiti.
And we are proud to help our Haitian friends once again,
following the recent, devastating fallout from Hurricane Matthew in early
October.
Our physicians and surgery center just purchased nearly $9,000
worth of medications and supplies to donate to relief efforts once again via
the Mission of Hope Haiti. Everything from pain medication and antibiotics to
IV bags and suture kits were included in this past shipment.
We are also so proud to have many individual Texas Orthopedics
staff members who regularly travel to Haiti selflessly to offer medical
assistance. Currently, as a practice, we are helping to build a much-needed hospital
on property owned by the Mission of Hope Haiti.
