Day 2: (Part 2) First Clinic Experience
First day of clinics had arrived. We spent the evening prior making certain all of our medications, supplies, and donations were packed and ready to go. Everyone was eager to see what the first day had in store for us.
Description: Our first clinic was set up inside of a local church. We had expected to see anywhere from 70 to 125 individuals that day. Instead, over 400 people showed up to see us. With limited staff and supplies, emotions were high as we tried to provide our best care to the Haitian natives.

Reflection: We were able to see a total of 70 individuals that day. The staff worked diligently and managed to stay calm and collected through out the entire day. As the day went on, the crowd grew and the supplies began to run low. Unfortunately, we had to make the decision to shut down the clinic earlier than we had planned. Even though we are here to help provide care, we first and foremost put our team's safety first. Overall we had a successful day and were able to provide care for 70 individuals who were in need.
* Due to the circumstances, the team was unable to take very many pictures for this clinic.
