Thanks to Dr. Henri Ford
Ten days after the earthquake, an "angel" appeared at the GHESKIO Field Hospital - Dr. Henri Ford. Dr. Ford was born in Port-au-Prince, several blocks from where GHESKIO stands. He was trained in surgery at The New York Presbyterian Hospital (Weill-Cornell) and is currently the Chief of Surgery at the Los Angeles Children's Hospital (Keck/USC). He was invaluable during his several week stay as one who understood Haiti and served both as a skilled surgeon and as a bridge between the United States and Haitian medical teams.
