WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SAVING A MOTHER'S LIFE?
Saving one woman may save a mother and her family. Saving one mother may solve other issues arising in the family and in the community. Maybe even lowering the influx of orphans.

Today we could have prevented 10 woman from dying of cervical cancer - in fact we could have wiped this cancer out with wepy spent on Mother Day's presents. But we need
the will to do it - just as we did with Polio!!!
Happy Mother's Day to all women worldwide

From the entire Council of Governors here at the WGCA.

WGCA Honors its Nurses

The WGCA is blessed with the best nurses in the world - we honor them not only this week but the other 51 weeks as well. We begin with our nurse director of the Cervical Cancer Prevention Clinic, Edline Andre and our associate nurse director, Marline St Louis. Our governing Council is blessed with two Deans of nursing schools, Dean Hilda Alcindor and Dean Sue Davis. The WGCA council is also blessed by its leadership, Council President, Jane Younger - a nurse with outstanding international experience. And finally, who else but our crown jewel of 2019, Danta Bien Aime whose leadership and talent allowed us to move forward in developing the Clinic in Gonaives. She has gone on to become a Fulbright Scholar and is now completing her first year at Harvard in Global Health. Three of our 4 nurses are from Gonaives and another heads the nursing school in Leogane where all of the nursing talent seems to reside.
At this important juncture, let us - in unison - celebrate the Nurses of the WGCA!
