Integrated Community Services (ICS)

HAS seeks to improve the well-being of the population by providing both medical care at the hospital and working to build sustainable and healthy communities. ICS focuses on promoting community health, increasing livelihoods through agroforestry, and improving clean water access through community development.

At the core of all ICS programs are the following two objectives:

  • To promote and create equity among all people served.
  • To provide holistic programs that address the root causes of problems.
ICS provides community based services to the commune (district) of Verrettes, reaching over 120,000 people, 15% of whom are internally displaced people who fled Port au Prince after the devastating January 2010 earthquake.
