Like millions around the world, the Associates of Ephraim McDowell Health have been greatly saddened by the devastating earthquake in Haiti that occurred January 12. As a result, Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center has donated supplies to the relief effort in Haiti. In addition, two of the Medical Center’s employees will be traveling to Haiti to participate in disaster relief.

Glass and Elliott left for Haiti on February 2 with a group from OMS International Inc. They are in Port-Au-Prince and will be there for two weeks providing medical assistance.

Ephraim McDowell Health donated sterile gloves and other medical supplies that will be delivered by the two employees. Ina will be sharing regular updates from her mission work in Haiti, which can be viewed on the Ephraim McDowell Health Facebook page.
