Family Medicine in Haiti

Two Haitian-born doctors at the University of Miami Medical School have been instrumental in the development of two very different approaches to the improvement of health care within Haiti throughout their careers. Dr. Michel Dodard has been working tirelessly since the earthquake with Project Medishare in efforts to set up and fund a high level trauma center in central Port-au-Prince to deal with the non-stop demand for high level of emergency care throughout the city. On the other side of the island, in Haiti’s second largest city, Cap-Haitien, Dr. Andre Vulcain has set up Haiti’s first family practice medical school which has been training young medical students to practice preventative and non-emergency medicine.

House Call Ministry

Doctors who make house calls are relatively rare; 1,400 in the country have house call-only practices.

Saving Our Homes

Robin Lee lives next door to her mother in the family's childhood home. When her mother needed help paying the bills, Robin took early retirement from the University of Miami and converted the home to a reverse mortgage to pay her mother's living expenses. What she didn't realize were the risks involved in reverse mortgages, and, something she could never have predicted, the economic downturn of 2007. Now both homes are in danger of foreclosure, and Robin, her adult children and siblings are doing everything in their power to keep them.
