"At the hospital, and for me in the observation ward, the objective is for us to work as a team. When we work together we see results and have a greater impact. I want everyone who I work with whether they are a security guard, nurse, or doctor to know that they are an equally important part of the team." -Dr. Yadine St. Fleur, Family Medicine #HASHeroes

Beautiful Haiti. At HAS, more than 98% of our staff members are Haitian. And they continue the important work of the founders who worked WITH the communities served, not for them. It is a partnership almost as beautiful as the land where it was born, and it has served the people of the Artibonite Valley for more than 60 years. Help us continue our mission at www.hashaiti.org/donate

"Some people just need someone to listen to them, they don’t need anything material they just need someone to listen. I love that, I love to listen to people and help them in that way. That is the work of psychology—listening and observing and providing therapy. That is why I chose to study psychology." -Michecconvencia Jean Baptiste, HAS Psychologist #HASHeroes

For Roseline, HAS's rehabilitation services have made a difference. About a year ago, Roseline suffered a stroke that not only affected her speech but also the functionality of her right arm. She came to HAS with little hope that she would be able to take her life back to where it was and regain independence. However, little but little, Roseline has recovered many skills that are often taken for granted including getting dressed, bathing herself, and as you see here--writing her name. #HASStories

Community health agents play a vital role at HAS through education, screening children for malnutrition, and providing vaccines. Our 45 community health workers provided over 15,000 vaccines to children under one last year – preventing debilitating diseases such as tetanus, diphtheria, and polio. #HealthWorkersCount #WHWWeek

Babies in the neonatal intensive care unit at HAS receive woolly caps to prevent dangerous cooling down. The tiny hats are hand-knitted and donated with love. Sometimes it's the little things (and the little ones) that make a big difference.
