On Friday, March 24, 2023, I had the pleasure of attending the Promoting Health in Haiti (PHH)<\/em><\/strong> gala and fundraiser as the guest of newly appointed President and Brooklyn resident – Henri J. Desrosiers, RN, FNP.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 The gala was held at the upscale- Antun\u2019s,<\/strong><\/em> located on 96-43 Springfield Blvd, Queens, NY.\u00a0 DJ ToniBeatz<\/em><\/strong> played a mix of Caribbean and American tracks as guests paraded amongst the striking spread of traditional Haitian cuisine and other cultural dishes.\u00a0 As guests continued to fill the room, servers diligently made additional seating accommodations to ensure each guest would secure seating.\u00a0 The gala guest list comprised of a mix of politicians, vendors, board members, and donors, who all support the efforts of raising funds to help the underprivileged citizens of Haiti.\u00a0 Historically, the nation has been hit with devastating natural disasters that destroyed homes, families, and many historical landmark structures.\u00a0 The gala’s focus this year was to raise money to improve the medical services for the natives of Haiti that was majorly hit.<\/p>\n

\u201cPromoting Health in Haiti” (PHH) has made amazing progress in a country still troubled by unrest and insecurity.\u00a0 According to President Desrosiers, PHH has been able to continue their program and even admit new students with the help of faithful partners and donors. \u00a0PHH houses sixty-one Family Nurse Practitioners (FNP) (seven specialized in Mental Health services) who\u00a0\u00a0have all earned a master\u2019s degree conferred by the University of Haiti. PHH\u00a0prides itself \u00a0by maintaining an overall standard of 68 students graduating from the program with a current cohort of 38 students set to graduate in 2025. \u00a0President Desrosiers states, \u201cThis work is only possible because of our generous donors and this great Union: \u201cL\u2019Union Fait La force\u201d, \u201cUnited we Stand.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to President Desrosiers, “PHH is not a “medical organization”.\u00a0 We educate nurses in Haiti, elevate their knowledge with a master’s degree in Nursing with specialization in two tracks: 1. Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) 2. Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.\u00a0 We are developing a third track that is a Family Nurse Practitioner with a specialization in Midwifery. This professional can provide primary care as well as taking care of a mother and child throughout pregnancy.”\u00a0 Look at the web site for more info:\u00a0 https:\/\/phhaiti.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Promoting Health In Haiti fundraiser & awards gala.<\/p><\/div>\n

PROMOTING HEALTH IN HAITI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Promoting Health in Haiti (PHH) was founded in 2010 by four distinguished nurse educators: Dr. Carol Roye, Dr. Steven Baumann, Dr. Joanna Hofmann and Dr. Carmelle Bellefleur. PHH\u00a0is a 501c (3) organization\u00a0dedicated solely to\u00a0support nursing education in Haiti.\u00a0They partnered with Haiti\u00a0State University to create the first Nurse Practitioner Program that began in April 2015.<\/p>\n

“Nurses are the front-line of health and wellness in a society.” They are the primary source of care for individuals who are suffering and vulnerable. Promoting Health In Haiti was founded to provide support for Haitian schools of nursing. The organization\u2019s goal is to create collaborations between North American and Haitian schools of nursing, in order to develop Bachelor\u2019s level and Master\u2019s level nursing education; so that nurses will have the training they need to provide the complex care they are called on to deliver, in hospitals and outpatient settings.<\/p>\n

PHH is committed to the fundamentals of nursing that include advocating for others, providing care, and education, and to improve health in Haiti through enhancing nursing education and nursing knowledge. With the help of\u00a0the dedicated nursing students of HBSON, we are able to educate peers about the crisis in Haiti, the need for higher nursing education, and the impact every donation has on the future of nursing.<\/p>\n

ABOUT CEO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Carmelle Bellefleur graduated from Adelphi University with a PhD in Nursing. She has been teaching nursing for thirty-six years and is currently Professor Emerita at Nassau Community College.\u00a0 She has been living in the U.S for over 50 years, but has never forgotten the people she left behind. While living in the US, she developed a deep conviction to giving back to people who are less fortunate; people with no voice. In 1992, she collaborated with UNICEF to create a community development program to improve the living conditions of the people in the village she grew up in.<\/p>\n

Through her passion to make a difference amongst the underserved populations and to help bridge the gap in health disparities in the U.S., she wrote a federal grant to increase retention and graduation rates of minority disadvantaged nursing students at Nassau Community College through the U S Department of Health and Human Services. That federal grant award spanned over 12 years.\u00a0 After Haiti\u2019s earthquake in 2010, she was appointed a member of the Advisory Board of the City University of New York (CUNY) CUNY-Haiti Project to help rebuild nursing education in Haiti.
\n.
\nIn 2013, she and her colleagues from Hunter College opened the first master\u2019s degree program in Haiti, in partnership with Episcopal University, Haiti\u2019s Ministry of Health, Haiti State University, and the nurse leaders of Haiti. Since 2016 she has partnered with the Sustainable Village and Learning Community of Arcahaie, Port-au-Prince and she became the Chief Executive Officer of PHH.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

VOTE OF THANKS<\/strong><\/p>\n

We thank all who we have had the privilege of working with. Thanks to their tremendous efforts.\u00a0 Not only is the level of nursing education in Haiti being upgraded, but an entire profession is being recognized in making a major contribution to public health. Ultimately, the people of Haiti, who have such scant access to primary care, are the prime beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

PHH is proud of these trail blazers who believe in giving to benefit others. PHH is that vehicle they chose to embark on to take that ride, to share their expertise, and to provide access to those most neglected. \u00a0These are a very special group of people who truly care about their community and are committed in making a difference in the world they live in and in Haiti.\u00a0 These are truly friends of Haiti!\u00a0 PHH values every commitment and the spirit of giving which has encouragement and strengthened us to continue this work.<\/p>\n
