Medical Technology Brings New Hope

This winter, the Clinic of Hope welcomed a brand-new ECG machine – made possible by the generosity of donors like you!

Where once a patient suffering cardiac symptoms was simply left without a diagnosis or hope, today they may benefit from an electrocardiograph reading by trained medical professionals.

Pastor Delamy reports, “Dr. Montumaire and Dr. Dave complement each other very well for the promotion of health in the Clinic of Hope. We are praising God for that.”

Continuing to Dream Big

Twenty years ago, Terre Blanche in northern Haiti was a dry, underserved place with no potable water, electricity, education, or health care. Locals doubted things could change, but with faith, Haiti Foundation of Hope founders, Pastor Delamy, his wife Elvire, Joe and Linda Markee, dreamed big after the 2004 flood.

By 2007, the Clinic of Hope opened as a small dispensary. A 2008 survey identified key needs: maternal care, infant mortality reduction and malnutrition. Annual medical conferences began in 2011, growing from 30 to over 250 participants by 2019, filling a vital gap in continuing medical education. Additionally, HFH medical teams introduced didactic teaching sessions with the Haitian personnel following each clinic day.

The Haitian Ministry of Health took notice as the clinic expanded to a 24/7 clinic. In 2013, an HIV clinic opened, followed by tuberculosis treatment in 2016 – both with government-supported staff. The Clinic of Hope’s excellent reputation is known at Haiti’s highest levels, especially for the Markee Maternity Center.

Recent milestones include Dr. Montumaire becoming the medical director, hosting nursing students for practical training, launching weekly staff teaching sessions and establishing patient education clubs. In 2026, the Haitian Ministry of Health designated the Clinic of Hope as a residency training site for Haitian doctors and nurses.

We stand in awe of God’s work in Terre Blanche and thank all partners for their faithful support. Together, we continue to dream big and bring hope to this community.

Growth and Impact

“Giving our best for the poorest.”

This phrase has been a core value for Pastor Delamy and the work in Terre Blanche. As the Clinic of Hope celebrated 19 years of service on February 25, 2026, its growth and lasting impact on the community demonstrate this commitment and dedication.

Initially, the Clinic of Hope was designated a Health Dispensary by the Haitian Ministry of Health (MSPP). Because of its good reputation and excellent care, it was later designated a Regional Community Health Center.

Clinic of Hope in 2014

In 2013, the MSPP provided medical staff to open an HIV clinic within the Clinic of Hope. This was followed in 2016 by additional government-supported staff to provide regional care for tuberculosis patients.

Since June 2022, the Clinic of Hope has been designated a National Community Health Center with certification for overnight beds. This recognition reflects the clinic’s excellent reputation, the quality service provided by its staff and its comprehensive care, with medical personnel available 24/7.

In July 2023, the Markee Maternity Center was completed and dedicated with the mission of providing excellent prenatal care and facilitating safe childbirth. Funded by generous donors to the Markee Legacy Project, this center has been a life-saving blessing to mothers and babies in rural Haiti, where maternal and infant deaths and failure to thrive were once common.

Pastor Delamy says that God continues to send the right people with the right leadership skills. Dr. Avril was an early example of this—first coming through an MSPP referral and continuing as a longtime trusted physician at the clinic. Today, Pastor Delamy is very excited about the current leadership of Dr. Montumaire and Dr. Ortega.

Clinic of Hope today

In 2026, the Haitian Ministry of Health designated the Clinic of Hope as a residency training site for Haitian doctors and nurses. Currently, three nursing students and two resident physicians are doing rotations at the clinic. One of these physicians has returned to serve at the very clinic where she was once a patient.

The challenges in Haiti are many, but Pastor Delamy declares “HFH is the engine,” as our in-country partners trust God for wisdom and direction. HFH is grateful for our donors whose faithful and generous support provide medical supplies, medications and other crucial resources that allow the Clinic of Hope to continue fulfilling the mission of “giving our best for the poorest.”

Waiting on the Sun

We are excited to share that the container with all the parts for the solar project has finally cleared customs! While this process took about five months longer than expected – we are grateful that the materials have now arrived safely.

During the delay, Brighten Haiti moved on to complete several smaller school solar projects on their to-do list. As soon as those projects are finished, work will begin in Terre Blanche. The new start date for the solar project installation is mid-March.

As I write this, I am thinking of another source of power. Isaiah 40:29 reads like a promotion for renewable energy: “He gives strength to those who are tired, to the ones who lack power, He gives renewed energy.” This power doesn’t require waiting. We have seen this power time and time again in the work at Terre Blanche with HFH.

When I look at all that God has done – and continues to do – in Haiti, I am truly amazed. We have had the power of the “Son” all along the way.

Thank you for being part of this journey through your prayers, encouragement and support. We will share more updates when the project is completed.

Scientific Thursdays Have Resumed

We recently received a report that Scientific Thursdays have resumed in Terre Blanche!

You may recall that these were started by the staff in 2024 and modeled after the didactic trainings that took place during medical team visits to Terre Blanche. With the encouragement of Dr. Jadotte and the leadership of Dr. Dave, these integral times of shared learning have started again.

Every Thursday, at the end of the clinic day, the multidisciplinary staff gather to learn from one another. This particular Thursday, the staff were hearing from the new nursing residents on topics including vaccinations, family planning and malnutrition.

I am so grateful and impressed with these healthcare workers and their commitment to excellent and holistic care for their patients and community.

New Medical Residents

For the first time, the Clinic of Hope welcomes medical residents in social service. These five residents (two doctors and three nurses) were placed here from the Ministry of Health. They work in a supportive setting that focuses on learning, service and community involvement. This initiative is an important milestone in improving access to quality and equitable healthcare that meets local needs.

The Clinic of Hope welcomes Dr. Jean and Dr. Saint-Fleur. They are known for providing high-quality medical care, building strong relationships with patients, and serving the community with love, humility, wisdom, and professionalism.

Dr. Jean and Dr. Saint-Fleur

Doctor Saint-Fleur returns to Terre Blanche as a physician, coming back to the same clinic where she was once a patient.

Because of your support to HFH, the area surrounding Terre Blanche is growing, the quality of life is improving and the future is promising a brighter future.

A special thank you to all our healthcare professionals who choose to serve in remote communities, often under challenging conditions, to provide dignified, equitable, and quality healthcare.

Photo Collages

“The mission of community health is to heal, to understand and to accompany,”

Dr. Dave Ortega, on staff at the Clinic of Hope, sent an email about recent home visits. He not only sent information about the importance of these home visits but included two photo collages that he created. This creative communication helps tell the story of the home visits through photos.

These home visits reveal many infectious and chronic illnesses affecting people of all ages, from children to the elderly. In these remote areas, where access to health information and services is limited, illness often goes unnoticed and suffering remains hidden.

Each visit goes beyond medical care. The doctors, nurses and community volunteers take time to listen carefully to patients and their families during each visit. It is an opportunity to observe, engage with families and collect important information to improve services at the Clinic of Hope. These visits help identify real health needs and build trust with the community.

The efforts of these doctors, nurses and community volunteers show a strong commitment to people-centered, community-based care—where respect for each patient is at the heart of every action.

Thank you, Dr. Ortega and the entire team, for reaching beyond the walls of the Clinic of Hope to make a meaningful difference in surrounding communities through home visits.

A Verse and A Declaration

Pastor Delamy and Elvire have chosen Psalm 118:17 as their verse for 2026.

“I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.”

They stand together in faith declaring:

“We declare that we are not victims of circumstances, but witnesses of God’s power. Every day we open our eyes is a gift to tell of His goodness. Through the darkness, His light burns brighter within us, in Terre Blanche and everywhere we pass.”

May we all stand with them this year, praying for their safety and for God’s solution for Haiti!

Inspired by the Clinic of Hope Staff

Haiti Foundation of Hope began 2026 with a board meeting on January 3. Every HFH board meeting opens with a story and a prayer led by a board member. At this meeting, board member Ron Whitted shared a challenge with those present, which we now share with you.

In the Christian community, we often talk about being the hands and feet of Jesus. I think the staff of the Clinic of Hope truly exemplified that with their 2025 Christmas Eve and Christmas Day free health clinics in the villages of Dubedou and Finel. (Sharing Hope at Christmas tells the story of the free clinics.)

In the U.S., we are typically winding down and relaxing on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day – but not in Terre Blanche. The clinic staff packed up their gear and headed out to serve. I am so impressed and inspired by their dedication and love for their neighbors.

For 2026, may we all resolve to be like the HFH clinic staff and go out of our way to find opportunities to better serve and demonstrate the love of Jesus to our friends and neighbors.

Matthew 25:40:  And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Pastor Delamy said, “Dubedou and Finel deserve a Christmas of health, dignity, and hope. And we are happy to serve, happy to share, and happy to support life.”

Sharing Hope at Christmas

Linda Markee, HFH Founder Emerita, writes:

Before Christmas, I received an email from Pastor Delamy asking for prayers as they were preparing to provide two days of free healthcare and baby checkups for the villages of Dubedou and Finel.

These visits took place on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day offering people a moment of wellness through:

• Free medical consultations
• Health education and awareness
• Targeted screenings (diabetes, hypertension, infections)
• Distribution of essential medications

How proud I am of our Haitian partners and staff who sacrifice time to gift their neighbors healthcare and education, bringing Hope, Joy and Love in these dark days in Haiti.

Pastor Delamy wrote, “This initiative is part of the mission of the Terre Blanche Health Center: bringing healthcare services closer to underserved communities, especially during this holiday season, when solidarity must be expressed through concrete action.”

He continued, “Dubedou and Finel deserve a Christmas of health, dignity, and hope. And we are happy to serve, happy to share, and happy to support life.
