Contact: The Mirebalais Hospital project is the first major effort to restore and revitalize Haiti’s healthcare infrastructure. The hospital closed in 2008 after the agency that had been operating it stopped providing services, leaving 140,000 local residents without essential medical care. In 2009, the Haitian Ministry of Health reached out to Partners In Health (PIH) to help fill this gap, and PIH began designing a hospital that would meet the needs of the local community. The hospital will be the largest public hospital outside of the capital city with 320 beds when completed at the end of 2011. The hospital will also contain extensive clinical facilities including an intensive care unit and an operating theater complex with 6 operating rooms while providing quality education to nurses, medical students and resident physicians.

The other New York City organizations contributing to this urgent effort included Aid for AIDS, the Caribbean Women’s Health Center, and Diaspora Community Services.
Clinic 1 will be located in Port-au-Prince specifically on the grounds of ASON, a grassroots AIDS service organization. Hôpital Sainte Croix (HSC) is located in Leogâne, twenty miles west of Port-au-Prince and has been affected by the earthquake that devastated Haiti in January 2010. The hospital has since needed major repairs, reconstruction and more functionality. HSC was founded in 1968 as a small outpatient clinic which became a full-service referral hospital serving the peninsula of Haiti. Medical Benevolence Foundation has plans to rebuild the hospital and has developed a plan with the Episcopal Diocese to achieve their vision of revitalizing the hospital’s operational services and its village clinics.
