We are very pleased with our many successes in Haiti, our humanitarian team seen more than 7,300 patients and conducted more than 30,000 healthcare encounters with the Haitian people. We held numerous healthcare education seminars with local medical professionals and many Haitians to provide the latest in healthcare procedures and instructions.
Our Seabees led by CWO2 John Ford, BUC Diane Paddock and BUC John Woolston, Successfully completed their Haiti construction project by Seabees at the General Hospital. Major work included complete repair and renovation of the hospital pharmacy and dormitory. Is a new start for the pharmacy and dorm used by medical students.
Same goes for Dominican Republic, our combined humanitarian team has continued our medical, dental, veterinary, education, engineering and community relations projects. We have worked closely with Dominican Republic Minister of Health and military forces to bring medical professional onboard COMFORT and to work side-by-side at the four different medical sites. Our largest location that has been operating since 22 April is the site of the 2003 Pan American Games handball court. The team has been providing medical services to hundreds of Dominicans each day in Santo Domingo, while conducting surgeries onboard COMFORT. We’ll complete our Dominican Republic mission in a few days and prepare for our next stop in Antigua and Barbuda.

Was wondering how/if the H1/N1 virus is going to effect the CP09 mission?
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Llarrissa, and I am an Assistant Scout Master with Troop 415 in Escalon, California. In the past my sons and I have conducted Support the Troops Service projects, usually putting together Care Packages for injured service members through the Chaplain at Landstuhl. I am aware that the USNS Comfort is on her way to Haiti, and I was wondering if our Boy Scout Troop could conduct a community wide service project of putting together care packages to be distributed to the injured you are about to serve?
If so, please let me know who I need to contact to set this project in motion.
Thank you
Llarrissa Sandoval Corrdova
