Missy Owen, nurse volunteer, will be in Haiti for 6 weeks, leading FHM medical relief teams. Missy previously served for two years in Fondwa, Haiti, with FHM as a missionary.
She then lived in Port-au-Prince for another year as hospitality director at Hospice St. Joseph. Missy is uniquely qualified for her role as medical relief team coordinator, as she knows PAP, speaks Kreyol, and has significant medical experience in Haiti and around the world.
In the photograph above at the FHM offices in Durham, Missy is supervising the packing for the various teams, inventorying medicines, and completing the planning for the 6 teams.
Following the medical team's exit on March 7, another team, this one from Duke University, is leaving on March 8. This team is lead by David Walmer, FHM's founder and chairman, and instructor in Duke's Global Health Institute course, "Healing in the Developing World." Co-leader if FHM employee Hannah Meador.
