While many Meridian nurses volunteer their time and skills outside the walls of our hospitals, some<br />
also give of their time beyond the boundaries of the United States. They act as goodwill ambassadors<br />
by bringing their knowledge and expertise to those in need.<br />
Meridian Health Sends Medical Team and Supplies to Haiti<br />
At Meridian Health, our commitment to improving the health and well-being of patients goes far beyond the borders<br />
of our own community.<br />
Following the tragic events in Haiti last January, Meridian worked directly with the CRUDEM Foundation, an American nonprofit<br />
organization which supports the <strong>Hospital</strong> Sacre Coeur in Milot, Haiti. Meridian physicians, nurses, and team members have<br />
regularly traveled on medical missions, and Meridian has provided supplies to the <strong>Hospital</strong> since 1997.<br />
On February 26, 2010, Meridian sent equipment, supplies, and a full medical team to Haiti for a week-long mission as part of our<br />
support for earthquake relief efforts. Our nurse representatives were Regina Foley, R.N.; Florence Germaine, R.N.; Darline Innocent,<br />
R.N.; Kris Rovell, R.N.; and Trish Wesch, R.N. The mission was supported by the Medical and Dental Staffs of each Meridian<br />
hospital, who generously committed the financial support to fund the travel expenses for our team and shipment of their supplies.<br />
