Opportunity provided by
Community Coalition for Haiti (CCH)
Transforms lives through long-term and community-driven solutions in healthcare, education, and community development.
CCH operates a Primary Care and PT-Rehab Clinic, each of which is fully staffed by Haitian medical professionals. On average, the CCH Clinics serve more than 15,000 patients annually – providing access to quality healthcare to those who would otherwise not have it. Patients are treated with kindness and humility, and although patients are asked to pay a small and culturally appropriate consultation fee for services, no man, woman or child is ever turned away because of inability to pay.
CCH staff and volunteers also train Haitian medical professionals through classroom-based and hands-on learning. Training participants include CCH medical staff as well as staff and volunteers from the local public hospital and surrounding clinics. Given its reputation and infrastructure in-country, CCH is also well-positioned to coordinate also research projects and other collaborative activities.
CCH is committed to mobilizing its clinics, its partner schools and a number of other institutional and individual partners to promote community-wide approaches to wellness. We partner with communities in multi-pronged ways that often include healthcare. A CCH mobile clinic brings doctors and nurses to provide health checkups at 4 partner schools each year. Year-round, CCH staffs 3 schools with nurses who treat emergent needs and lead health education lessons for students. We also bring our mobile clinic to Community Health and Wellness Days with a focus on health & wellness education and awareness raising around services available in the region.
