We would like to thank IMC and our individual donors for their continued support and for helping to make these clinics a reality. The following 11 clinics have been established in the Greater Cap-Haitien region of Northern Haiti and will provide services to countless women in the upcoming years.

This clinic was established in honor of Lindsey Rickles, a young and talented nurse at Cedars Sinai Hospital who passed away this year. Located in Cap-Haitien, Bethesda serves 30,000 patients at its medical clinic and 5,000 at its dental clinic yearly. Additionally, the medical clinic also operates prenatal and well-baby programs that assist over 4,000 mothers and babies a year.

The “Phyllis” Clinic Sant Mediko Sosyal Wanament MSPP (Ouanaminthe)
Twenty-two kilometers southeast of Fort Liberte and close to the Haiti-Dominican Republic border is the newly established Phyllis Clinic at the Wanament Hospital in Ouanaminthe.

These three have been given the task of going out into the community to pass on their knowledge and recruit women for screening.
