UDHHC assists the Haitian community in health awareness and self-care in large part through a weekly radio show. The program educates and raises public awareness regarding primary care and empowers patients to become better advocates for their health. UDHHC’s goal is to promote preventive medicine, as well as healthy eating as the means to achieve overall health. UDHHC also financially supports, and coaches college level students from Haiti. We offer them the opportunity to enroll in an observership in the United States. While travelling in the U.S., UDHHC provides students with all their accommodations assistance during their stay. During their stay, UDHHC ensures students have access to some of the world’s most outstanding training in medicine and nursing. They also receive important experience through their work assisting the weekly radio broadcast. They get a chance to continue to develop essential skills as well as take in valuable information through their experience. After this, they leave better equipped to provide quality care to their fellow citizen’s back home. Through the programs these students enroll in, and our radio show, we strive to make a difference in the Haitian community both here and in Haiti.
