West Tennessee Haiti Partnership

We welcome physicians, pharmacists, physical therapists, sign language interpreters, translators (French or Creole), as well as any non-medical personnel who have a heart for listening, learning, loving and serving the children of St. Vincent's. Be prepared to leave a large part of your heart in Haiti, as you will receive much more than you give.

We recognize that not all of the partners in our West Tennessee Haiti Partnership are able to join us on our mission trips. However, their contributions of time, talent, and prayer are just as valuable and necessary for the continued success of our mission. We are grateful for the ongoing support of these partners who enable us to carry out this important work.
