Dear Friends,
Our first IT class in Milot: Volunteer Joe Parmentier trains local staffers on how to terminate cables for the new wifi system.
For the first time ever, the TriMedx Foundation is impacting two hospitals in one trip: Hôpital Sacré Coeur in Milot, and St. Boniface Hospital in Fond des Blancs (both in Haiti). Not only will we maximize resources and opportunities for these impoverished communities, we will do so on an on-going basis throughout 2011. That’s where you come in.
Each month, TriMedx Foundation will send one associate biomedical specialist to train local technicians at these two hospitals. To qualify for training, nationals must have the ability to read, write and speak English.
Training topics will be determined by the volunteer available for the trip. (This month Melissa Hendricks of St. Luke’s Hospital in Jacksonville, FL, will travel to St. Boniface to provide repair and hands-on training for RSQ and basic troubleshooting.) Whatever the topic, focus will be on key mission hospital functions such as lab, anesthesia, EKG, blood pressure and imaging.
If you have the knowledge, ability and desire to teach, please contact Merrill Brown to discuss open dates.
