WE STAND WITH HAITI

Aesclepius Medical Society, Inc. (“AMS”) is a not-for-profit organization that promotes the advancement of minorities in the field of medicine through mentorship, academic support, and resources. AMS also exposes physicians, members as well as aspiring health professionals to the practice of giving back through our year-round community services that provide healthcare assistance to the medically-underserved populations of New York and Haiti. In the aftermath of the overpowering earthquake that devastated the homeland on January 12, 2010 and beyond, the organization sent approximately 150 volunteers to Haiti to provide care, donate food, water, clothes and 1000 pairs of shoes. AMS also responded to the vexing cholera outbreak by sending antibiotics, IV fluids as well as a delegation of providers.  Additionally, the organization has been embarked on a project to send to school impoverished children in need of an education. To face the destruction caused by hurricane Matthew, AMS completed an emergent mission in Haiti whereby, water, food, clothes and medications were provided to hundreds of people who were severely affected. These have been just a few of our activities in Haiti. In New York, AMS has held multiple health fairs in Brooklyn.
