Welcome to my blog about the recovery effort in Haiti!

Hi! I'm a physical therapist who has made a couple of trips to Haiti to volunteer after the earthquake. I named this blog 'I left my heart in Haiti' because that's what happens when you go to Haiti. You go to help the people, to change their lives. Then somehow before you know it, you realize it is they who have changed you.


There are so many wonderful people and groups providing assistance in Haiti, I wanted to create a central place to highlight them all. I hope to include information about different local and international organizations and people, stories from the field, and ways to support the work that will continue in Haiti for many years. If you like would me to include your story or organization, drop me a line!

Global Therapy Group: Looking for PT/OT volunteers


After the January 12 earthquake in Port-Au-Prince, two dedicated physical therapists from St. Louis decided to make a difference. They created Global Therapy Partners and immediately partnered with Haitian Community Hospital in Petion-Ville, an area of Port-Au-Prince.
They are committed to providing rehab volunteers for the next two years, and are instituting a technician training program so local Haitians can continue to care for their own people.
Accomodations are available.
For more information please check out their website at http://www.globaltherapygroup.org/ or contact Donna at dhutchinson@globaltherapy.org For more information about the hospital, you can check out their webiste at http://www.haitihosp.org/
