Helping Haitian’s in Need

August 1, 2021 by Ken Tribit

Humanitarian Efforts

After the 2010 earthquake that struck Haiti and killed over 250,000 people, our founder Kenneth Tribit teamed up with Dr. Sugar for medical mission work.

Every year since, a team of orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and therapists work with Hospital Sacre Coeur in Millot, Haiti.

On these week-long trips, the team performs between 50-60 desperately needed surgeries.

Food, medical supplies, and monies are also donated to the local Catholic church nuns who take care of those most in need (including a children’s nutrition program).

Last year the team donated $6,000 to Sister Ann who was able to build a home for a widower blind man raising his children.

After seeing how impoverished the people of Milot are, Dr. Sugar created a charity called MASH, Medical Assistance Serving Humanity. If you would like to donate to help the people of Milot, please click below.
