About Haiti Medical Mission


Haiti

It was back in 1997 that 15 volunteers from Fargo-Moorhead traveled to Pignon, Haiti for a one-time surgical visit.

Years later, a team made up of many of the same nurses, surgeons, anesthetists and support staff still makes the yearly January medical mission trip.

  • Mission Statement

    We want to share our medical skills and resources with the local doctors and medical staff of Pignon, to improve the lives and health care for the people there.

  • Vision Statement

    We will improve health care delivery in the village of Pignon by providing new and recycled medical supplies, teaching the local health providers and providing surgery to the people which is otherwise not available.

  • Participate

    We take our Medical Mission trips the first part of January every year. Our visit runs from Friday through the following Sunday. A 9-day mission. The cost per volunteer is $1,500. For those unable to pay the full amount, scholarships are available. Medical students are invited to join us.

Stories of transformation
Made possible by donors

Jacksees

Jacksees came to the village hospital with a cleft-lip that had caused pain and suffering in his life. Ridicule, poor nutrition, unable to attend school. He used his hand to cover his face. A relatively short surgery by the Fargo-Moorhead Haiti Medical Mission changed his life forever.

Edmond

Edmond came to know the Fargo Moorhead Haiti Medical Mission team as a patient. He and his mother were brought in to the hospital, badly burned. The team worked for days to save Edmond's mother but she died. Edmond was saved and is now part of our life while we are in Haiti, and team members see that the orphan boy is enrolled in school and gets a daily meal.

Nelta

When Nelta came to the village hospital, most thought we needed to prepare for triplets. But we soon learned, Nelta had a huge non-cancerous tumor. The Fargo Moorhead medical team worked for hours to remove the 15-pound growth.
