The Medisys Health Network understands that the earthquake that struck Haiti has devastated the nation and impacted the lives of several of our employees and residents in the communities we serve. We send our condolences and extend our prayers to those who have been affected.
To help individuals seeking information on their loved ones in Haiti and for those looking for ways to help, the agencies listed below have established informational hotlines, began outreach efforts, and/or are providing news updates. We encourage all employees to support relief efforts being made to assist Haiti.
