This delivery method more easily targets the digestive and respiratory tracts and helps the rotavirus vaccine protect children against severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration.

Dezile and Rosemela are two very important residents of Kay Granmoun—they're 105 and 95 years old, respectively! What's Dezile's secret to a long life? He says, "To stay alive longer, you must respect god, have no flaws, and stay at home.”

We're proud to help provide a place for these two—and all of our residents—where they can feel safe and cared for in their later years.

Our post-op room is where patients recover after surgery. In 2025, our surgical team performed 3,433 procedures, more than half of which were emergency cases. As patients recover, we monitor them closely to ensure wounds heal, bones remain set, and infections don't develop.

We proudly hosted 53 social service residents at St. Boniface Hospital in 2025.

In Haiti, newly-minted clinicians must complete a year of service in a hospital affiliated with the Haitian Ministry of Health. St. Boniface Hospital is one of the most sought-after social service sites in the country because we see a wider array of patients than many other facilities. When residents leave St. Boniface, they take the skills they’ve learned to other hospitals across Haiti, elevating the level of care provided throughout the country.
