Our Core Values: Genuine partnership: We will strive to be in genuine partnership with those who share our vision. Education: We will deliver education that enables critical thinking and competent autonomous practice. Compassion: We will embody the compassionate service that is an essential characteristic of quality healthcare. Faith: We will act with the belief that change can occur, one person at a time, and through the efforts of small groups of people who believe it can.The program has graduated 5 classes skilled birth attendants. We employ 2 full-time instructors at our site in Hinche, Haiti, but rely on volunteer support (CNM’s, CPM’s, L&D RN’s, WHNP’s, and ObGyn MD’s) to serve as preceptors and supplement patient care provided by our graduates in the maternity unit of the hospital and mobile clinics. Volunteer groups of 2-4 individuals go to Hinche each week, on trips that are fully financed by each volunteer

All volunteers must have an current and valid license to practice and may only perform procedures in Haiti that fall under that license. We accept volunteers with CNM, CPM, MD (OB/GYN), RM, or LM credentials. Volunteers are accepted on a case by case basis through our application and interview process.
