PIH truly lives up to their philosophy of 'whatever it takes'. This organization's response to Haiti's earthquake disaster has been quick, thorough, and steadfast. Within one week they had set up supply chains for all of their existing sites to deal with the massive influx of patients from Port-au-Prince. They also had coordinated with other organizations to set up a site in P-a-P at the General Hospital to triage patients who could not leave the city to find health care. Two weeks after the quake, PIH had sent 22 planes to Haiti filled with doctors, nurses, medical supplies, food, etc. Their Boston staff worked around the clock to coordinate this effort. And they are already starting to think about a long-term strategy. As for me, I'm on board to be a PIHer for life.

I lead an organization that helps children living with HIV/AIDS around the world. We have been working with Partners In Health formally for about 3 years as a funding partner and have been extremely pleased with the relationship. Their leadership is legendary, as are the locations where they seek to make a difference (and they do). We have no doubt that their expertise will play a significant role in the rescue and rebuilding efforts in Haiti.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the accountability and detail we are given on the work that our grants have supported and the dedication that the staff have to the locations they are based.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
make an enormous difference in health care services for people in underserved rural areas like Haiti and Rwanda.

Partners in Health has an extraordinary approach towards holistic healthcare through its programs and footprint in Haiti. PIH has in many ways transformed how healthcare is delivered in under-resourced settings with their clinical programs in Haiti. Importantly, PIH utilizes and supports local resources, recognizing the tremendous local talent at hand. PIH's outlook is long term and strategic, and the organization strives to recognize the dignity of each patient. It has been a privilege to support such a program over the years.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
their "preferential" approach to delivering superior health care to those without resources to access such services. Those most in need deserve the very best service - and PIH strives to provide that in the most challenging of environments.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Dedicated, driven, doers, who are passionate about their work and have joined PIH to build a fundamentally different and more inclusive approach to serving those most in need.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Change the way healthcare is delivered globally. They've already done it with new approaches towards providing HIV/AIDS therapy globally, and PIH has a broad agenda to tackle.

I and the firm where I am a partner, Sterling Stamos Capital, have been enthusiastic supporters of Partners in Health (PIH) for many years. In 2004 I visited PIH in Cange, about a three hours drive outside Port au Prince, and was fortunate to attend rounds with Dr. Paul Farmer. As a physician, I can attest to the superb quality of health care that PIH provides to the poorest of poor in some of the most challenging conditions imaginable. As a donor, I am confident that our money was well spent. In fact, I can't think of a better social investment.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Haiti where I observed the doctors at several clinics. I also know the organization inside and out having met with the principals of the non profit on many occasions in NY, Boston, DC, SF and Palo Alto.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the ethos of every member who works for the organization. The Haitian, Cuban and American doctors, nurses and health workers are extremely committed to serving the poor -- as if the patients were their own family members.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
expand services within Haiti to serve the ongoing needs of the poor, particularly after the devastating earthquake.
