Dr. Colleen O'Connell has healing hands...literally. Since founding Team Canada Healing Hands (TCHH) in 2003, Dr. O'Connell has been in Haiti providing training, mentorship and hands-on rehabilitation care to her Haitian colleagues and their patients.
The Canadian Medical Foundation recognized Dr. O'Connell's work with a recent grant to TCCH to increase the capacity of post-earthquake rehab care in Haiti.
The CMF grant provides TCHH with funding to send ten Canadian physicians to Haiti throughout 2010. These spinal cord injury and complex rehabilitation specialists will offer mentorship, guidance as well as hands-on care.
CMF supports Team Canada Healing Hands because of it's clear focus on education and the sustainability of the expertise provided to Haitian physicians and caregivers.

The Canadian Medical Foundation is supporting the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) to help provide relief in Haiti. Since the devastating earthquake which struck on January 12th, SOGC's partners at la Société haïtienne d'obstétrique et de gynécologie (SHOG) have been working to quickly reestablish and expand the services of the Maternity Unit of Croix des Bouquets Heath Center in order to continue providing maternal and infant health services to women in Haiti.
