Many of you have expressed a desire to come together as a healthcare community to help the victims of the Haitian earthquake. After reaching out to the American Hospital Association, we agree that the most expedient way to help is through an already established relief organization. The federal government’s US Aid service www.USAid.gov is leading an assistance effort, as are many other worthy organizations such as the American Red Cross. We encourage you to support the cause of your choosing, and thank you once again for demonstrating the caring and compassion of New Jersey’s healthcare community.

In addition, we extend our great respect and appreciation to the New Jersey hospitals, physicians and other providers who are already mobilizing efforts to share their clinical expertise by sending support teams to the ravaged nation.
