The Heart of Dr. Elion
This trip will be service oriented with some medical care delivery as possible. If you are a physician, nurse, pharmacist or other health profession, your onsite expertise can allow us to deliver much needed assistance to many Haitian families. All, however, are welcome as there is plenty work to do.
