Kerline Marcelin, MD, an ophthalmologist at Hudson Valley Hospital Center, traveled to Haiti in January on a medical mission with the CRUDEM Foundation. Marcelin, who teaches at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, performed eye surgery at the Sacred Heart Hospital (Hôpital Sacré Coeur) in Milot from Jan. 18–25. She specializes in treating glaucoma, which can end in blindness if left untreated, a particular problem in developing countries such as Haiti, where treatment is not readily available. Dr. Marcelin first visited Haiti while in medical school, and her trip inspired her to become an ophthalmologist. Dr. Marcelin's background — her family is from Haiti — additionally made for a very meaningful trip on many levels. Marcelin hopes the trip will be the first of many, and she would like to eventually organize a group of her own to return to the island each year.
