Medical Clinic
Urgent Help Needed
Our medical clinic is located in the Piton Community School, right on top of the mountain. It serves villagers from Piton and the surrounding communities for basic needs. When they need more help, there are hospitals a couple hours away in two neighboring cities. Unfortunately, both of the nearest hospitals are unavailable at this time due to the unrest and violence rampant in the country. Our small clinic is more utilized than ever, as people who are afraid to travel off the mountain are coming to our clinic for care. Where in the past we restocked our medication supply a few times a year, now we need a restock at least once a month.
Please consider helping us help them receive basic care.

Our History
Led by Dr. Tom Tigar, Piton Partnership began conducting regular medical clinics in the village of Piton, Haiti, in 2014. These clinics were held inside the school building, which meant classes were disrupted. By 2017, we'd renovated a building on school property to give our clinic a permanent home. This made it much easier to store medications and supplies securely and gave us more room and flexibility. It also allowed us to conduct a clinic with minimal disruption of school activities.
We hired our first nurse in 2017 to visit the village at least once a week. In 2023, we hired another nurse; both visit the clinic three times a week. Legina joined our team in 2019, and Nadine joined in 2023.
They are in the school clinic for children and adults. They also work with Samuel out in the community for personal hygiene education and household sanitation support.
Your support helps us pay them a salary and provide basic medications and supplies to the clinic.
