Hope Hospital
(Hopital Espoir)
As the number of children in the care of Fondation Pour Les Enfants d'Haiti increased, so did the need for medical care. Trips to the General Hospital in Port-au-Prince exhausted much time and patience; the cost was high, and the satisfaction was low. The need for a well-run, modern pediatric hospital was great. However, not only did it seem impossible to raise the funds necessary to construct such a facility, but there was an embargo in place prohibiting all building materials from entering the country.
Looking to the Lord for guidance, the decision was made to begin construction, proceeding as money became available. By 1994 a new hospital building was ready to care for children on an outpatient basis. A year later, 1995, full pediatric services were ready. Today, a fifty-bed hospital had been built!
Today, Hope Hospital is overseen by Dr. Max Dernnisante as the medical director and Dr. Darlene Gousse, is the hospital's executive director.
