As part of the newly established Haitian Amputee Coalition PFP is responsible for recruiting and sending trained physical therapists specializing in rehabilitation of amputees and disabled patients to the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Deschapelles. These physical therapists heroically volunteered their valuable skills and talents, sacrificed vacation time and dedicated themselves to their work with patients. They worked closely with prosthetists from Hanger Orthopedic Group and local Haitian hospital employees to build systems, develop procedures and share techniques. Their collaborative efforts have ensured high quality care for patients and sustainable training opportunities for hospital employees.
