Pressa was born with a cleft lip

May 26, 2022

Our surgical team provides life-changing surgeries every day...

Pressa was born with a cleft lip and her family could not afford surgery. Being born with this medical condition impacts the entire family and makes life difficult for the child. The ability to eat, drink and speak properly are only a few ways a cleft lip changes a child’s life. 


There is a huge need for surgical care in our area and across the country. The operating room at our hospital is meeting needs by providing quality surgical care to children in our area and across the country.


Like Pressa, many of these children have waited months, even years to have surgery. A Haitian surgical team works together with our hospital staff to provide these life-changing surgeries, including cleft lip and cleft palate reconstruction, hernia and burn-related surgeries.


Today, we celebrate her beautiful new smile! We are grateful for the surgical team, medical staff, and operating room for providing hope through surgical care.

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.
