Our Medical Clinic and Brace Shop

Both our Medical Clinic and our Brace Shop are located in downtown Port-au-Prince, at 119 Rue des Casernes. This will be a familiar area to those of you who visited St. Vincent's before we moved to Santo 17.

Our Medical Clinic provides pediatric, orthopedic, and, ophthalmologic care, physical therapy and audiology testing. Staffing includes five orthopedics, four pediatricians, one ophthalmologist, one physical therapist and one audiology technician. The Clinic sees from 15 to 20 children per day, usually from birth until 13-14 years old. Coming from all over Haiti, they pay a fee of 750 Gourdes or, approximately, $11.50 (USD).

Our Brace Shop serves mostly children, but we also work with some adults who wear braces. We employ one chief technician and three technicians who are disabled. Because our mission is to serve the poor, we provide care and braces at a very low price - well below what the market and other clinics charge. The fee we charge is largely for supplies. Thus, our Brace Shop runs at a loss.
