CLUBFOOT CASTING CLINIC

Every Friday clubfoot clinic occurs. The therapy staff have been trained on how to cast using the poinsetti casting method. We currently have about 8 children coming weekly for clubfoot casting. Last month all the new volunteers completed the casting training. This is one of my favorite educations as it requires each of the students to have a cast put on to feel what a cast feels like as well as get a cast cut off which can be scary. I feel like this is important activity so that the volunteer and therapy staff can relate to what the child is feeling and what the parents are also going through. 

STAND January 2019

Below are some of the highlights from STAND PEDIATRIC CLINIC January 2019. So many priceless moments... so many kids and families lives changed. I was blessed to have my Dad and friend Teddy there to do building projects. The STAND clinic got new bunk beds, sink stand, swing hook up beam, medicine cabinet, and storage unit in the pediatric room. During the 2 weeks we were able to help medically save a few kids lives including one sweet baby girl being air lifted to another part of Haiti who has a specialized pediatric ward. A few were helped to go to a private clinic and get needed medicine. Countless kids received bracing, Home Exercise Plans, Parent Education, custom made adaptive equipment.
