Partners
Along with the support and expertise of our members, we rely upon a network of partners who are committed to our mission.
The following individuals/organizations were honored as our Lifesaving Partners.
Haitian American Nurses Association
The Haitian American Nurses Association of Florida, Inc. (HANA) is a 501(c) nonprofit membership organization, established in 1984 by two registered nurses, Alice Casimir and Jacqueline Dasque, along with eight other professionals. These people wanted to establish an organization which would provide health care services to migrant workers in the Homestead, Florida area. Currently HANA has eight chapters in the U.S.A. Its strategic vision is to be recognized both nationally and internationally as a world-class nursing association.
HANA strives to increase the enrollment of nursing students through education and mentoring as well as provide community networking opportunities for its members. HANA continues to provide scholarships for students enrolled in local schools as well as in Haiti. HANA has developed a teaching project initiative to send volunteer nurse educators to teach at Faculté des Sciences Infirmières de Léo gane (FSIL) and thereby raise the level of nursing care in Haiti.
