SHC Medical Relief Team Treats Thousands of Earthquake Survivors in Haiti

On Jan. 12, a 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti, killing thousands and injuring many, many more. A team of seven COMMITTED Stanford Hospital & Clinics emergency medicine clinicians were among the first groups of outside physicians to arrive. They returned home Jan. 30, exhausted from 14 days of nearly round the clock work to save lives, under the most desperate circumstances.

“I joined to help people, and thanks to support like this, we have the capacity to help to the fullest,” said Anil Menon, MD, a clinical instructor at Stanford School of Medicine.

Employees’ responses for the team of physicians and nurses from SHC that went to Haiti and showcased their COMPASSIONATE CARE in the relief efforts can be viewed in a heartfelt video message.
