Haiti Relief Effort
Dr. Colbert and the NYDG medical team will be traveling to Hispaniola on the Haiti and Dominican Republic border (see map below) for the relief effort within the coming week. David and his fellow doctors responded to a request for help from Esperanza International, a Dominican Republic based charitable organization assisting the refugees who are now amassing in makeshift camps at the DR/ Haitian border. Many in these camps have suffered severe trauma, and will need medical attention for weeks and months to come. NYDG is now asking for donations so that the team can buy much needed medical supplies for the relief effort. These funds will go towards purchasing analgesics, antibiotics, burn creams, first aid kids, bandages, and a variety of other medical supplies. If you would like to contribute please click the donate button on the right. In addition, if you have access to such medical supplies, we are also accepting those. Please call 212-533-8888 to arrange for pickup or simply stop by our office at 119 5th Avenue.
