What We Do > Healthcare Programs > Back to Haiti

CMMB was begun over 75 years ago after a New York doctor, Dr. Paluel Flagg, returned from a visit to Haiti inspired to mobilize volunteer healthcare resources in the U.S. to help the people of that country. Today, CMMB extends its special relationship with the people of Haiti by working with local faith-based partners to provide primary healthcare, life skills training, and public health information to school-aged children and their parents. Conducted in partnership with Caritas Haiti, the Salesian Sisters and the Network of Health Institutions of the Archdiocese of Port-au-Prince, Back to Haiti supports the educational work of the Salesian Sisters by providing routine physical exams and health education classes to their students.
