Profile: Nurse Nadege
Duroné Nadège has been working at Healing Art Missions for one year and, in that time, she has become an indispensable asset to the HAM team. In her role as Head Nurse, she is the backbone of the Operating Room. She prepares supplies, sterilizes equipment, and is responsible for scheduling.
Nurse Nadège enjoys the work she does and says she enjoys helping. She shares that "Everything the Mobile Medical Team in Haiti does is possible because of the support of the people who finance Healing Art Missions. There can't be intervention without equipment or specialists. The patients are always grateful for HAM's service, but today I wish to express my gratitude to HAM's supporters: Thank you for this magnificent initiative to send important services to the people of Haiti. Just thank you. I can't thank you enough."
