MITZI COKER Expansion to Eben-Ezer Medical Clinic in Fort LibertĂŠ, Haiti
ADVISORS: John McRae, David Matthews
Haitian people die senseless deaths every day from treatable diseases and injuries simply because they cannot reach or afford medical attention. This project is a design expansion to an existing medical clinic in Fort LibertĂŠ, Haiti. The EbenEzer expansion will serve those Haitians typically turned away from the larger government-run hospitals because of their inability to pay. Poverty and the lack of basic life skills are the primary catalysts for the spread of infection and disease. Clean water, adequate sanitation and access to medical care are essential to reducing unnecessary suffering and premature deaths.
MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE
The goal of this expansion is not simply about providing the medical rights to the poor; it provides them health security through education and preventative care.
