Haitian Hospital Safe And Saving Lives | = | The staff at Haiti’s Hpital Sacr Coeur start helping patients as soon as a medevachelicopter landsin a nearby school soccerfield. (NAPSA)—A glimmer of hope can be seen at one hospital in Haiti—and many Americans are trying to makeit grow brighter. Haiti has been struck by the worst earthquake in over 200 years and hundreds of buildings have been destroyed, but one— Hpital Sacr Coeur (HSC) in the town of Milot, the largest private hospital in the north of Haiti—is up and running, saving lives and limbs. This premier Haitian health care facility has been a beacon of hope for the people of Haiti for 23 years, creating a healthier Haiti, one dignified life at a time. Given the enormous damage to health care infrastructure and hospitals throughout the country, Hpital Sacr Coeur is a major triage site for earthquakevictims, whowill be transported to the hos- pital by the Red Cross and the U.S. Navy. Volunteer medical personnel are on-site treating patients and contractors are building temporary shelters. Volunteer teams are arriving by private plane. As the number of earthquake victims continues to mount, there is a need for cots or beds and tents or portable buildings to house the additional patients. Every dollar counts. That’s where you can comein. You can act now to help HSC with disaster relief efforts by contributing to the Center for the Rural Development of Milot (CRUDEM). To help, you can donate via credit card at www.crudem.org. According to one volunteer, “All of the staff are doing an amazing job in every possible way. In spite of the tragedy, there is a strong sense of hopein theair.”
