The earthquake response testified to the
professionalism and vast potential of a
Haitian-led medical institution that has become
a national treasure. Sacré Coeur personnel
and volunteers embraced an unexpected and
daunting trial by fire that included a silver
lining: the experience revealed the hospital’s
potential to provide a broader range of
advanced procedures. As Dr. Kelly summed up,
“It’s a proud moment
for all of us and then a
humbling moment. God
in his divine wisdom again
used one man to begin a
process that would save
hundreds in a catastrophe
none of us could ever
imagine. No one thought
we would ever be where
we are now especially the
one man who started it,
Ted Dubuque, but God
had other plans.”
