Pediatrician Donald B. Winters, MD, of Thomasville, will be traveling to Haiti on Sunday to join workers with the AMURT-Haiti program. He will be working with the AMURT Integrated Health and Education Centers, which were set up to give children a safe place to continue their education while the earthquake-damaged infrastructure is rebuilt. Dr. Winters says he also will be visiting rural clinics during his nearly two-week stay in Haiti.

Family Physician Steven Landau, MD, of Smithfield, is assisting and recruiting physicians and other health care professionals to work with AMURT in Haiti. He can be reached at [email protected] or 919-284-4149.
