Hôpital Albert Schweitzer
Since 1956, Hôpital Albert Schweitzer Haiti (HAS) has provided healthcare to the medically underserved population of the Lower Artibonite Valley in central Haiti—healthcare that, in many cases, would otherwise be unavailable. HAS’s commitment to providing high quality healthcare to those who are most in need is based not on the principles of humanitarian aid, but on essential human rights. HAS recognizes that the economic health of Haiti depends on the physical health of its people.
HAS is a rural healthcare system that includes a 131-bed hospital located in Deschapelles, which is approximately 54 km north of the capital, Port-au-Prince. It is the only full-service hospital in the region serving a population of more than 350,000 people over a 610 square-mile area. With a team of doctors, nurses, and community health workers, HAS delivers 24/7 healthcare services, as well as community-based programs that help address the root causes of some of the country’s most challenging health issues. HAS provides surgical services, internal medicine, pediatric and maternal care, diagnostic services, and rehabilitation.
==History==
HAS was founded by Dr. Larry Mellon (1910–1989) and Mrs. Gwen Mellon (1908–2000), who were inspired by the Nobel Prize-winning humanitarian work of Dr. Albert Schweitzer. In 1947, the Mellons began a correspondence with Dr. Schweitzer that would endure for nearly two decades, until his death in 1965. The immediate impact of their communication was a decision by the Mellons to establish a hospital in the Western Hemisphere to provide compassionate, lifesaving healthcare to patients who are among the most vulnerable in the world. The guiding principle under which HAS operates—Reverence for Life—comes from the inspirational words and work of Dr. Albert Schweitzer.
