Request from Joan

I thought I'd e-mail this out to all of you at once. I have another list of
medical needs from our clinic that I will forward too. Dr. Keith said if
they have a big enough team and it is possible, some may come out here to
Cayes as many of the wounded are being brought here to get them out of Port.
Thanks for all the prayers. We are holding up well.
Joan

Subject: Haiti medical opportunity

Greetings to each of you,

King's Garden is a mission hospital in Port-au-Prince, run by Dr. Hubert
Morquette and his wife, Dr. Junie Hyacinthe. They have a new facility which
thankfully survived the earthquake and is functioning. As you might expect,
they have been overwhelmed with patients, and have asked for assistance.
They are most in need of anesthesiologists (or nurse anesthetists) and
orthopedic surgeons. We would like to mobilize a team to help, and are
working on transportation arrangements sometime next week. If you are an
anesthetist or orthopedist and would consider coming, or know someone who
could, please contact me at kknepp@mchsi.com or by calling 309-303-1184.
We will also have need of supplies, so if you have access to wound care
supplies, casting material, antibiotics and pain medications, those would be
useful. These should be in bulk form (not small sample bottles) and packed
as compactly as possible, with labels on the outside of bags or boxes to
easily identify contents. All medications need to be current (no expired
medicines). We will let you know shipping instructions as soon as possible.
If we can't use the supplies immediately, they can be sent later to the
hospitals we support.
Thanks to each of you for your support and prayers for the people of Haiti.
In Christ,
Keith Knepp
