Haiti Medical Missions of Memphis provides quality health care to the peoples of Haiti through a comprehensive primary care health clinic in Croix des Bouquets near Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The facility provides day surgery, primary and preventive health care, dental and eye care, and serves about 75 patients per day.
