• Global Health: I am a member of handsupforhaiti.org, an organization of medical professionals (physicians, nurses and students) who partner with local Haitian health care providers  and community educators to bring in additional resources, meds, equipment and to support continued ed. Our goals are inspired by paul farmer, md, mph of Harvard, from partners in health, whose mission is: "whatever it takes."...their "mission is both medical and moral. It is based on solidarity, rather than charity alone. "Whatever it takes. Just as we would do if a member of our own family—or we ourselves—were ill." (he says it best for all of us.)

Haitian children I met along a walk to the clinic.
