Academic Health Centers Respond to the Crisis in Haiti

An under-reported responsibility of academic health centers is their role as front-line responders in disasters.  Not only do they offer medical expertise, but academic health centers also often provide supplies, equipment, medications, public health support, and many other critical services.  The disastrous earthquake in Haiti has indeed mobilized the academic health center community.  In the words of Dr. Pascal J.
