Wednesday marks the one-year anniversary of the earthquake that devastated Haiti. DGHI partner organization Family Health Ministries (FHM), which has worked primarily in women’s health in Haiti for the past 17 years, has had to adjust its focus this past year to accommodate immediate relief needs in the three Haitian communities where they work.

FHM Chairman David Walmer, assistant professor of OB/GYN and Global Health, and FHM Executive Director Kathy Walmer, adjunct associate professor of Global Health, discuss the challenges they faced post-earthquake, how they responded and the progress that has been made in one year.
