A Special Delivery to the Hospital in Haiti
The Bishop Joseph M. Sullivan Center for Health (BSJH) recently received a very special delivery that will mean improved healthcare services for the people living in this remote community in Haiti.
Years ago, when we first went to Côtes-de-Fer, we were struck by the poverty and vulnerability of the people we met. Moved by the impact a lack of access to healthcare had on the community – especially the women and children – we identified that a healthcare center was the greatest need.
A few years later, thanks to generous partners like you, and a lot of hard work, we opened the BJSH.
That was March 2017, and today, it is a joy for me to witness how people in this community are receiving the care they need in our state-of-the-art hospital. Since opening its doors, the hospital has treated over 8,000 patients and delivered more than 130 healthy babies!
Every year, we are able to expand hospital resources at the BSJH, improving the quality and scope of care available to residents. This year has been no exception. Just recently, the BSJH received a brand new, state of the art, X-ray machine! CMMB’s director, Dr. Dianne Jean Francois said, “This will significantly increase the level of care offered and the diagnostic capabilities at the hospital.”

Improving care, one X-ray at a time!
We are proud of the BSJH and the way it is transforming healthcare for the people in this community. Thank you for all that you do to help make this possible.
