Media spotlight on Red Cross field hospital workers

If you follow this blog regularly, then you would have heard us talking about two Ontarians who were deployed to Haiti with the first-ever Canadian Red Cross field hospital. This Emergency Response Unit is the first of its kind in the Americas and is staffed with Canadian experts in medicine, nursing and logistics.

Two local newspapers wrote about our local delegates. We wanted to share the stories with you.

Click here to read about our own Disaster Dude, John Saunders, of Milton, who was also deployed. John, who will be in Haiti over the holidays, told the Milton Canadian Champion: “If nothing else, maybe this is my family’s gift to Haiti. That’s a nice and supportive way of looking at it.”
