About us

The Mizak Health Clinic was opened over a year ago by an organization called Haitian Artisans for Peace International. A group of "grassroot nurses" from Marcus, Iowa were the first team to start the clinic and it was a success. Since the clinic has opened, healthcare workers from the US have empowered the Mizak community through training Haitian healtcare workers. Now they have a hypertesion clinic and a program for malnurished children. Our dream is to help the Haitian's create a better Haiti with a sustainable clinic operated by the healthcare workers of Mizak. We are hoping to have a nursing school in the mountains someday.

July Trip 2010

Hey Everyone,

We just got back from Mizak and held education classes for the health care workers. We taught nutrition, birthing, dehydration, dental hygiene, and first aide. I think they really enjoyed it. One of the exciting parts was an interpreter we had all week is the principal of Mizak School. I am hoping that some of the health care workers can take what they learned and share it with the children in school.

I am so proud of them. They are making Mizak a healthier place to live. I believe in them and over time, Mizak will feel the impact of these health care workers.
