Two generous, anonymous donors are matching all gifts, up to $20,000, through the end of the year. That means any gift you can make will go twice as far in supporting St. Boniface Hospital's essential services, like our world-class laboratory.

Every emergency intervention, every life saved begins in this critical facility. Even just $5 will make a difference. Can you chip in today?

Although this comes amid unprecedented, life-threatening attacks on global HIV/AIDS funding, we refuse to let our patients pay the price. For more than two decades, St. Boniface Hospital has helped thousands of patients achieve viral suppression and live full, healthy lives while managing this disease. Their lives matter, and we will continue to do everything we can to provide them with the quality, dignified health and support services they deserve.

Did you know that we hold nearly 50 community health events every month—averaging about 12 events per week? Because travel is often a barrier to care, these events are an important way to provide basic care and essential public health information for as many people as possible

We have worked hard to make St. Boniface Hospital a sanctuary in the mountains of southern Haiti. A place of healing, safety, peace.

Beat by beat, breath by breath, our hardworking emergency room team cares for patients around the clock. Emergency care is a relatively new specialty in Haiti, and we are proud to have some of the best practitioners in the country caring for our communities.

In addition to social service and specialty residents, HEI is proud to host and train pre-interns. Pre-interns are students in their final year of medical school who supplement their classroom learning with in-hospital experience. We're proud to be a part of their journeys toward becoming fully-fledged clinicians!

Doctors, patients, families, community members, newborn babies—everyone crowded into St. Boniface Hospital's waiting room last night to watch Haiti's historic, World Cup-qualifying win. Our hearts are overflowing with pride for our team and our country. Alaso!!! 🇭🇹❤️⚽️

So far this year, we've had more than 6,500 pediatric patient visits in our outpatient clinic and 886 to our emergency room. Every little one we care for is important—they are the future of Haiti, and we do everything we can to help them grow up healthy and strong.

Our drivers are some of the most unsung heroes at the hospital. They must constantly navigate rough, jagged roads—which often flood during storms—to get patients and supplies to our doors safely. They also keep our fleet of cars, ambulances, and motos in good running order, ensuring we can always be on the move at a moment's notice. It's not an easy job, but their work is essential.
