This #World Health Day, HAS is proud to contribute to the World Health Organization’s guiding vision of #Health for All by never turning anyone away because of an inability to pay. Your donation to HAS helps to cover the costs (over $100,000 USD a year) of subsidizing patient payments for services and medicine, enabling everyone—especially our most vulnerable—to receive the care they need. Please make your fully tax-deductible gift to ensure that #HASHaiti can continue to provide care to the people of the #Artibonite Valley: bit.ly/2tHsbXg ...

#Deschapelles native, Youvena, is studying in Port au Prince to become a medical technician. She loves having this opportunity and is studying hard to succeed in her courses. Unfortunately, sometimes her studies are disrupted by sickle cell anemia. Thankfully, she knows she can always rely on HAS's doors to be open for her. Even when in Port au Prince for school, she returns to Deschapelles for treatment during her flare ups because she is confident the local hospital will be able to provide her the best and most affordable care. When asked if she is glad to have HAS, she said "Of course! Without it I would have already died. They take care of us here. When I show up they always ask me how I am. And they keep my spirits up--they always try to make me laugh. The hospital is always here for me no matter what." #HASatWork ...

During January & February, HAS's PPD Team worked tirelessly in order to install and nearly double the amount of solar panels and inverters. We are very thankful to the Swiss Partnership HAS Haiti for their leadership and financing of this institution transforming endeavor as well as for their connection to our top-notch volunteer Swiss engineers Christian Hassler and Christoph Bauman. These two worked long hours in order to aid the team in the installing, testing, and optimizing of new solar panels that are estimated to decrease fuel dependency by 25%. #HASatWork ...

When Rose Guerline was caught in a house fire, her mother immediately brought her to #HASHaiti knowing that though it was the weekend, the hospital in #Deschapelles would still be open. The burns were not mild and her mom says without the care of the hospital she thinks her daughter could have lost her arm. The family appreciated the care provided at HAS, and report that the doctors come bright and early every day to check on the young patient and ask her how she is. She is still recovering at the hospital under the supervision of her doctors, but she is anxious to get back to her school and her normal life. #HASatWork ...

#HASHero Miss Anne provides counseling and support services for patients who have been identified as HIV positive. In her role, she encourages these patients, many of which are pregnant women, and ensures they make it to their first appointment with the HIV/AIDs service in nearby Verrettes. When speaking with patients who test positive, she does her best to make them understand that they will likely be able to live normal lives if they are diligent in taking their medicine. She loves to hear that an individual she has worked with is faithfully attending their appointments. #HASHaiti ...

On the anniversary of earthquake that shook #Haiti to its core eight years ago, we take a moment to remember those who lost their lives that day. And we are thankful for those brave souls who worked tirelessly in the aftermath to rescue and treat the wounded, remove rubble and debris, and rebuild what was destroyed. In the days and months after the earthquake #HASHaiti staff and volunteers worked around the clock to treat patients injured in the earthquake, providing emergency medical care and life-saving surgeries to thousands of people.

Today, we pause to say “thank you” to the Haitian people for welcoming HAS into your communities, and supporting the work that we have been doing for over 60 years. We say thank you to our Haitian clinical and support staff who enable HAS to continue providing quality healthcare those who need it in the #ArtiboniteValley. Your resilience and perseverance in the face of disaster and in the everyday heroism of what you accomplish is inspiring. Thank you.

And may those who are no longer with us Rest In Peace. ...
