You may drop off any of your
donations for the Haitian people at any one of our urgent care
locations (see map below). Supplies are
currently being delivered via donated private airplanes to
several clinics sponsored by Project Medishare for Haiti and they are currently leaving Ft. Lauderdale airport
daily.
Or, you can make a monetary donation directly to Project Medishare on
our MD Now Team Website by clicking onto this link. Please join
our team and make an impact during this terrible time in Haiti.
Under
normal circumstances, when Project Medishare has donation campaigns,
85 percent of donations go directly to programs in Haiti. For their
earthquake relief efforts, they have assured us on their Facebook page
that they will use every penny to help Haiti through this time.
As you are aware, Haiti has been
devastated by a record magnitude 7.0 earthquake. There is a dire need
for medical supplies. MD Now Urgent Care Centers is giving their
financial support as well as donating much needed medical supplies to
the people of Haiti in conjunction with
Project Medishare and
the University of Miami School of Medicine. Project Medishare has been
helping the people of Haiti since 1995, and is now accepting donations
of medical supplies and other needed items in response to this
overwhelming disaster.
Project Medishare for Haiti,
Inc., a 501©3 non-profit registered in the State of Florida, was
founded in 1995 by Dr.’s Barth Green and Arthur Fournier from the
University of Miami School of Medicine.
Project Medishare for Haiti’s 11-person trauma team
has been on the ground in Port-au-Prince since Wednesday morning and
more teams are being sent with supplies.
According to an email sent out to the Friends of
Project Medishare, the Project Medishare office and staff house in
Port-au-Prince have been destroyed. The trauma team worked out of
United Nations headquarters at the airport, but under very difficult
circumstances.
Project Medishare’s Executive Director, Ellen
Powers, reported that the amount of suffering is far overwhelming the
limited capability to help.
The Today Show's Ann Curry and Al Roker interviewed Project
Medishare's Anna Morrison, a medical team member.
Three more teams arrived on Thursday with medical
supplies. Instead of working out of UN headquarters, the teams are now
working between Port-au-Prince’s General Hospital Hospital
Universitaire de la Paix, and a makeshift hospital outside the Hotel
Villa Creole where it will be easier to provide better care. Medical
teams will be flying in and out daily to deliver medical supplies and
assist the primary Project Medishare team. |
