While Healing Art Missions purchased an ultrasound machine several years ago to provide sonographic imaging to assist with diagnostic exams for both surgeries and expecting mothers, many of our doctors and nurses have not been trained on the use of an ultrasound machine or how exactly to read and interpret the imaging. With the expansion of HAM’s surgical capabilities and Safe Birthing Program in recent years, we determined it was time to bring on a Radiologist/Sonographer to help us optimize the use of our Ultrasound machine and most effectively read the images.

We would like to introduce you to the newest doctor to join our team, Edgar C. Denoit. Dr. Denoit is originally from Mole Saint Nicolas, in northwest Haiti, but is now living in Port-au-Prince and is single. He graduated from medical school as a general practitioner about five years ago, then three years ago he attended imaging school and became a Sonographer. Since Dr. Denoit was a child he has always wanted to help people and he feels medicine was the best career choice for him, one that offers the opportunity to use his time and abilities to help other people. He is excited for the opportunity to work with HAM, as he says, “because we share this common value of helping the most vulnerable and the neediest people.” He will work at the Dumay Clinic two days per week.
During the first quarter of 2022, the Ultrasound program has performed 87 obstetric exams and 22 non-obstetric exams.
