Haiti Health Promise/ Holy Name Medical Center Foundation

Mission Statement

Haiti Health Promise of Holy Name, a division of The Holy Name Medical Center Foundation, is organized for the exclusive purpose of providing access to health care services for poor and medically underserved individuals. Our sole focus has been on providing quality healthcare to the northern region of Haiti, opportunities for stable community life, and avenues for economic growth. 

Our centerpiece project is the 230-bed Hôpital Sacré Coeur, the largest non-government hospital and public health provider for the 250,000 people living in the Milot region of Northern Haiti, and the official government reference hospital that serves the 3.4 million-plus population of the Northern districts of Haiti. Hôpital Sacré Coeur has engaged in more than 5 million patient interactions over the last 10 years alone. The hospital has been caring for Haitian people since 1968.

Holy Name provides extensive medical, technical, financial, volunteer, and administrative support. Life-enhancing projects include access to free education and homes. A Feed Haiti food packathon program has shipped more than 3.3 million nutritious meals to the hospital for community distribution to thwart malnutrition and food insecurity. With a staff of over 350 Haitians, Hôpital Sacré Coeur is the region’s major employer and economic driver.
