Mercy Health Mission Trip

On March 20th, 2017, CMMB will officially open the Bishop Joseph Sullivan Health Center (BJSH) in Côtes-de-Fer, Haiti. The facility will serve over 50,000 Haitians who currently lack access to quality healthcare.

Many are joining this historic celebration, including the health center’s first and largest partner, Mercy Health. In 2013, Mercy Health, then known as Catholic Health Services, committed to a $2 million challenge grant to build the hospital. Continuing with their support, Mercy Health is sending eight qualified professionals, including doctors, registered nurses, and IT specialists, in the week leading up to the dedication ceremony. The aim of the first mission trip is to provide healthcare services and enhance hospital operations. We look forward to this mission trip and future collaborations with the wonderful people of Mercy Health.
