Our Story
Global Health Teams (GHT) has supported medical clinics in southwestern Haiti since 1998. Formerly known as the Seattle-King County Disaster Team, we changed our name in 2018 to better reflect the great work we are doing now. Our medical clinics provide critical medical services in these impoverished, remote areas of Haiti. We have medical clinics in various areas of the Grand'Anse province in February, April, June and October. We also provide support to our main clinic in Leon which operates year-round.
The clinics are also a place for health care providers to develop their skills in practicing effectively in an austere environment.
Team members also provide educational and consultative services to partner organizations in Haiti. We have also published several clinical research articles to share information we have obtained and help improve care in Haiti.
Our Board of Directors and clinic volunteers are all unpaid. Our volunteers pay their own way and donate their time to serve the patients at our clinics.
