“America One,” a team of two local doctors and an Erlanger nurse, said they are happy to be home but there’s still a lot of work to be done in Haiti.
The team arrived in Chattanooga early Thursday morning after a 10-day medical mission trip to the earthquake-devastated country.
During a news conference they talked about the types of injuries they saw and the potential for further deaths from disease that might occur in the near future due to lack of post-surgical treatment and poor hygiene.
A second team of three doctors and three nurses left Wednesday morning to work at the same pediatric hospital. They tentatively are planning to stay in Haiti for seven days.
