Many Faces of Forward in Health
Forward in Health continues to make strides towards the opening of a medical clinic in Fondfrede, Haiti. While this is the primary mission of FIH it is not the only way that we are able to positively impact people in Haiti and in our own community. Haiti is in the midst of a dry spell. […]
Lorie Butler Blogs on Haiti, Nursing, & Faith
Realizing I needed to write in the FIH Blog I was finding it hard to write something when it’s been so long since I’ve been there. However, being that Nurses’ week approaching us I thought about it and thought that it might be appropriate to talk a little about how my past trips to Haiti […]

As I reflected on my 11 years of service to the poorest country in our hemisphere the stories of my experiences seemed endless. However one period of time, one medical trip, […]
Student Trip From The Winchendon School
The first 4 days of the student group from The Winchendon School traveling with Forward in Health to Les Cayes, Haiti has been all that was hoped for. The students have sanded and painted all of the beds at a nursing home, shopped at the Les Cayes market and then cooked a meal “Haitian style” […]
What an amazing accomplishment!
The following is an email from Hal Seifert, the supervisor of construction of the FIH clinic in Fondefred, Haiti. It is only because of the relationships Hal has nurtured and developed with the Haitian people that the roof was poured. Knowing what to do to build a building is one thing, but it takes a […]
