Day 1 Haiti Trip

I dropped Dani off at the Quito International Airport at 4:30am. By know she is somewhere over the Carribbean about 30 minutes away from landing in Port-Au-Prince. The team is comprised of seven rehabilitation specialists (1 Prosthetist, 1 Orthotist/Prosthetist, 1 Board Eligible Orthotist, 2 PT's, 2 Physicians). The team will be split into two groups. One will work at the Handicap International Headquarters in Port-au-Prince with mostly prosthetic patients. The second group will visit three or four sites outside of Port-au-Prince focusing on orthotics cases, spinal fractures, paralysis, nerve damage of the extremities and educational seminars for local professionals.

The ROMP team is being hosted by the Healing Hands for Haiti Foundation. Thank you HHHF for your help in arranging the project. Hope to have more news shortly.
