Dear UDH health Coach Friends and Supporters, it is with great sadness that we are informing you that we may be shutting down the radio at the end of the month. As you know we rely mostly on fundraisers and the occasional grant. Our last scheduled fundraiser was canceled due to the pandemic. Shutting down the program would be a real blow to the Haitian community with all we’ve been doing to spread awareness especially in these times. Since the pandemic’s outbreak, we have done a lot as far as culturally appropriate education on Covid 19. We’ve covered prevention, pathophysiology, cardiogenic shock, ARDS, and septic shock. On behalf of UDH Health Coach, we are thankful for your support over the years.

Dear Dr. Jean-Baptiste,
It is my honor and pleasure to inform you that that you have been selected for the David Neparstek Community Mentor Award this year by the Applied Learning Experience (ALE) Course Directors in the Tufts University School of Medicine Public Health Program.  Congratulations!  
This award is given annually to a public health professional who demonstrates a commitment to excellence through their work as practitioner and mentor. The award honors the contributions of David Neparstek who has consistently served the students of the MPH Program as a teacher, mentor and preceptor.
In usual years, we would present you with the award in person at our annual commencement dinner in May.  But this is not an ordinary year, and so the award will be mailed to you.  Yakeisha Gray (cc:ed here) will follow up with you for your mailing address.  
Even though we will not be able to honor you in person this year, please know that we here at the Tufts MPH program truly appreciate the time and energy that you have spent over the years mentoring and directing our MPH students.  Your good work is core to public health and we are glad that our students have had a chance to learn from you.  
Thank you again for your service, teaching, and mentoring.
