Haiti Disaster Relief
We are all deeply saddened by the recent catastrophe in Haiti, and POSNA wishes to summarize some opportunities to help the countless individuals injured in the earthquake. While the information available is limited at this early stage, we have identified organizations that you can contact and volunteer your expertise. Members may also discuss within their institutions whether provisions can be made to accept transfer of patients for more chronic care if the situation arises. We will plan to send other emails as more information becomes available.
