Health Care at Primary Care Clinic

Medical Clinic

Soaring Unlimited Medical Services & Michigan State University/Institute of Global Health

Soaring first built a rural medical clinic in 2009 and has served the outskirts of the city of Cap Haitien for 16 years with daily primary care health services that the community would not have access to otherwise. We employ three physicians, as well as a nurse, lab technicians, and pharmacy personnel.  Last year, more than 10,000 patients were served. SUH’s most significant and longest-standing partnership has been with Michigan State University. MSU’s Institute of Global Health, spearheaded by Dr. William Cunningham, routinely sent medical students to Haiti to help staff SUH’s Primary Care Clinic for nearly a decade. 

With the understandable suspension of these student trips by the University due to the U.S. State Dept.’s travel advisory warnings about Haiti, we have realigned our long, strong relationship with MSU by bringing Dr. Cunningham and some of his student proteges who are now graduates of the medical school, onto the Soaring Board of Directors. These physicians provide guidance for our healthcare services, advise our Primary Care Clinic staff, and bring various in-kind and financial resources to bear to benefit SUH and the Haitian people.
