Accelerated Physical Therapist Helps in Haiti
Patrick Christianson, Accelerated PT and facility manager completed a week long relief trip to Haiti in April. Patrick journeyed to Hospital Sacre Coeur, a privately owned hospital in Milot, Haiti. The hospital was one of the only functioning surgical hospitals left after the devastating January 12, 2010 earthquake that left 230,000 people dead and many more injured. In Milot, Patrick provided physical therapy to amputees and fracture and spinal cord injury victims allowing for their discharge from the hospital and return to their communities.
Of his experience, Patrick says "my trip was one of healing versus life and death. It had been over 2 months and the patients were ready to be mobilized and rehabilitated. Our goals were to increase their independence…Many times we asked ourselves; 'what home or what family are they going home to?' Remarkably, most were anxious to return to Port-Au-Prince". "This experience was as rewarding for me as it could ever have been for the few people I was able to help".
