Healing Haiti: 6 Months Later

It’s no secret that our Chief of Surgery, Henri Ford, MD, has been very active as a volunteer during the rebuilding of Haiti after the earthquake in January 2010. Most recently, he shared with ABC7’s David Ono during one of his many visits back to the island nation.

This video profiles stories of triumph—a premature baby surviving in the face of daunting odds and a young girl who smiles despite the loss of an amputated leg—but it’s clear that much work is still needed.

That’s why Dr. Ford is so committed to the rebuilding process. He plans to continue making regular trips back to Port-au-Prince, as he has done since the quake hit.

Dr. Ford says, “To the extent that I have a heartbeat and I can still speak, I’m going to continue to be hopefully a force, an instrument for progressive change here because there is no other choice.”
