JEAN WILFRID-ALBERT CLINIC in CHERIDENT, HAITI
Haiti Healthcare Partners became a non-profit in mid-2005. A year later, our roadside clinic opened with a staff of seven. In both the old building and the new one, the Jean-Wilfrid Albert Clinic has held an excellent reputation. The staff is professional, kind, and reliable. In a nation where services come and go, HHP’s clinic has been open about 5,000 straight weekdays and often providing care of the weekends..despite earthquakes, hurricanes, and mud-slides. Thank you for standing fast with us as we begin our next 20 years.

The new clinic building was dedicated with a well-planned, joyous gathering for dozens of guests. The celebration included prayers of thanks, worship and singing, introductions and remarks, the Holy Eucharist, a tour, a blessing of each room, ribbon cutting and lunch.

Haiti Healthcare Partners (HHP) provides medical services in rural Haiti
In the sprawling, rural mountains of southern Haiti, we are called to tend the sick. More than 12,000 patients annually rely on the quality, consistent healthcare offered at our Clinique Jean-Wilfrid Albert.
“The clinic receives way more people compared to the last 5 or 7 years for it is considered as the most equipped one in terms of professional staff and medicines” —Ancy Fils-Aime, HHP liaison
Haiti Healthcare Partners (HHP) is a registered 501c3 charitable organization, established in 2005, to provide urgent, primary medical services in the rural mountains of Grande Colline, Haiti.
HHP focuses on improving those statistics in rural Grande Colline by continually pursuing our two-fold objectives:
1) Provide strategic oversight to our all-Haitian medical staff
2) Fund the necessary operating and capital needs for the medical services and facilities in the area, which include:
Our fixed clinic in Cherident treats over 12,000 patients each year.
Mobile clinics serve four outlying villages (1,000 annual patients).
Our matwons (midwives) deliver over 350 healthy babies annually.

"It's easier to go to the mountains than to wait for
the mountains to come to you."
-Haitian Proverb
Grande Colline is only 35 miles from the capital of Port-au-Prince, but it’s still a 3 1/2-hour trip by SUV due to the rutted dirt roads that connect its remote villages. While some people can afford an occasional motorcycle taxi or “Tap Tap” bus, most rural Haitians cannot and therefore must walk. Some of our patients walk up to two hours in each direction to be seen by our medical team.
All patients are seen!
