The South Florida connection

Here are two South Florida programs participating in the scale-up of AIDS 
treatment in Haiti:

• On the Central Plateau, Miami nonprofit group Project Medishare has worked 
with Partners in Health and the Haitian government to renovate a clinic and 
provide care for AIDS patients and others.

• In Cap-Haitien, Haiti's second-largest city, doctors from the University of 
Miami's Department of Family Medicine have helped run a medical residency 
program since 1998. They are now working with local groups to expand the 
program and have begun to provide care and treatment for AIDS patients.
