Dean Pascal J. Goldschmidt, M.D., returned to Miami from the capital of Haiti Monday evening deeply moved by the efforts of the Miller School force, more than 100 strong, which continues to work tirelessly to save survivors of the catastrophic Jan. 12 earthquake.

"I am so impressed by the work of Barth Green and his team. In no time, the Miller School of Medicine, with Project Medishare and the Global Institute, were able to create an urgent care center that was invaluable to the people of Port-au-Prince,'' the Dean said upon landing at the Opa-locka Executive Airport.

Among the first foreign doctors into Haiti after Tuesday's earthquake, Green, M.D., professor and chair of neurological surgery, is helping coordinate the international medical relief effort. Green, who co-founded Project Medishare with Arthur Fournier, M.D., professor of family medicine and associate dean for community health affairs, after a medical mission to Haiti in 1994, had been working towards building a critical care hospital in Haiti. Now, he is overseeing the new 300-bed field hospital going up on a corner of Port-au-Prince's devastated international airport.
