"Partners in Health has been working in Haiti for nearly 20 years, and has over 100 doctors, 600 nurses and 4000 employees on the ground in Haiti working from 10 existing Partners in Health hospitals to provide relief services to those affected by last week’s earthquake and is urgently seeking donations and medical volunteers; visit www.standwithhaiti.org/haiti for further information."
