Southland medical teams provides care to children in Haiti with Danita’s Children

Danita Estrella Watts • Nov 11, 2013

This fall Danita’s Children made history, with the opening of the 3-story, 17,000 square foot pediatric hospital. The facility was inaugurated by a visit from two medical teams from Southland Church in Lexington, Kentucky. Southland Church wanted to bless the efforts of Danita’s Children with volunteer medical professionals.

Each team spent several days performing routine physicals, eye examinations, dental cleanings, and check-ups. Over 100 pairs of eyeglasses were donated to children who had lived most of their lives in need of corrective eyewear. Dental extractions and topical operations were performed on several patients as well.

Because of the efforts of the Southland medical teams, over 300 children were able to receive quality medical treatment. Members of the local community were also able to receive referrals for follow-up appointments with the Danita’s Children medical staff.

The Danita’s Children Medical Center and team are extremely blessed and grateful for the generosity of the Southland medical teams. Danita’s Children looks forward with great excitement and anticipation for the new season of improved healthcare in Haiti which they are valiantly embarking on.

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Danita's Children Medical Center is saving lives! Will you partner with us? The expansion of our NICU opened earlier this year and is already making an impact in the community we serve in Haiti. Families are able to access the specialized care their critically ill infants need to survive. I wanted to share the story of baby Fonrose, one of the very first patients admitted into our NICU.

Jules’ mother came to our hospital back in October 2021 when she noticed that her son may have a hernia. She was able to have a consultation with our doctor and found out that he did need to have surgery to repair the hernia.
