CCH operates a Primary Care and PT-Rehab Clinic, each of which is fully staffed by Haitian medical professionals. On average, the CCH Clinics serve more than 25,000 patients annually – providing access to quality healthcare to those who would otherwise not have it. Patients are treated with kindness and humility, and although patients are asked to pay a small and culturally-appropriate consultation fee for services, no man, woman or child is ever turned away because of inability to pay.
CCH staff and volunteers also train Haitian medical professionals through classroom-based and hands-on learning. Training participants include CCH medical staff as well as staff and volunteers from the local public hospital and surrounding clinics. Given its reputation and infrastructure in-country, CCH is also well-positioned to coordinate also research projects and other collaborative activities.
CCH is committed to mobilizing its clinics, its partner schools and a number of other institutional and individual partners to promote community-wide approaches to wellness. We partner with communities in multi-pronged ways that often include healthcare. A CCH mobile clinic brings doctors and nurses to provide health check ups at 4 partner schools each year. Year-round, CCH staffs 3 schools with nurses who treat emergent needs and lead health education lessons for students. We also bring our mobile clinic to Community Health and Wellness Days with a focus on health & wellness education and awareness raising around services available in the region.
Jim Wilmot Surgical Center
Jim Wilmot dedicated 32 years to building Wilmot/Sanz into one of the most respected healthcare design studios in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area.
Deeply rooted in his faith, compassion and love for people, Jim helped design a surgical center for the Community Coalition for Haiti in 2012. Now named in his memory, the Jim Wilmot Surgical Center exists to provide high quality, pro bono surgical care in Haiti. Although CCH isn’t currently able to offer surgery, we partner with other organizations in Haiti and the Caribbean to try and find surgical solutions for our patients who need them.
