Daniel Jolivard is coming to the University of Michigan

Daniel Jolivard, son of Junior Jolivard, will be coming to the University of Michigan this Saturday May 19th for diagnosis and treatment of his hemolytic anemia.  Daniel is being transferred to the University of Michigan because of the request of Dr. Lamothe of Port au Prince who has been caring for Daniel for the last month.  Dr. Matthew Davis of the University of Michigan coordinated the transfer through Survival flight at the Universtiy of Michigan. 

Please keep Daniel, his family as well as the medical staff at the University of Michigan in your prayers while Daniel undergoes his treatment.

Norbert's procedure has been a success.

Norbert Tibeau arrived in April in New Haven Connecticut and has been residing at St Thomas Seminary in Bloomfield, Ct.  He has had a successful intervention to stabilize the aneurism in his brain.  The following article accounts the participation of Partners in Health Right to Health Care program and Yale University Medical Center.  http://yalemedicalgroup.org/tibeau2011 

We are grateful for all of those who participated in the process of obtaining care that was not available to Norbert in Haiti.  We would like to thank Patrick Alziphat who worked as interpreter for Norbert while in Haiti.  We would also like to thank Evan Lyon MD, our first contact with Partners in Health as well as David Walton MD from Partners in Health.  We would also like to thank Amber Olberc, Naomi Rosenberg, and Sybil Hypolite who directed the Right to Health Care Program at PIH during the time period that Norbert was obtaining images at CEDIMAT in Santo Domingo.

We would like to thank the many people at Yale who made this possible.

We would also like to thank Fr. Andrew Small OMI formerly from the US Council of Catholic Bishops and Monsignor Gerald G Schmidtz of St. Thomas Seminary who provided housing for Norbert while in the US.

Lastly, we would like to thank God for the grace and blessing of so many people working toward a common goal to help Norbert.

Norbert Tibeau has arrived at Yale.

Seminarian Norbert Tibeau has arrived in Hartford Connecticut awaiting surgery for a brain aneurysm.  This was made possible through partnership with Partners in Health and The Latin American Outreach office of the United States Council of Catholic Bishops.

Yale University has donated their Medical expertise to benefit Norbert.  This is a procedure that would not be available to Norbert in Haiti or the Dominical Republic.
