Meet Nurse Julienne
Many barriers in Haiti prevent the CCC sites from sustaining a successful “See & Treat” program including  lack of supplies, lack of funds to obtain carbon dioxide gas, lack of trained staff, and lack of women who seek the service. Most women are completely unaware of the  necessity of cervical cancer screening.

Last week, Program Director, Rebecca, traveled to Haiti to introduce CureCervicalCancer’s new nurse, Julienne, to our clinic sites. Nurse Julienne will be a key player in addressing the many challenges described above. She will manage the “See & Treat” programs at all CCC sites. She will ensure that each site always has sufficient supplies and carbon dioxide gas, she will train new staff members in “See & Treat”, and she will lead educational outreach to the women in the community.
Nurse Julienne explains a new evaluation protocol to a nurse in the Lindsey Rickles RN Clinic to revamp our program in Haiti.
At each site, Nurse Julienne was greeted with anticipation and gratitude. In spite of many challenges, the staff members share a strong desire to offer “See & Treat” to the women in their community. We look forward to building stronger programs and to reaching more women.
