For the last two weeks a crew consisting of a doctor, an emergency room technician, a translator and a driver has taken the 2003 four-wheel drive Toyota Land Rover with a broken odometer into neighborhoods and outlying areas of Sarthe and Croix des Bouquets, east of the Haitian capital. The foursome cruises the streets and countryside two or three days a week looking for people who cannot make it to the Camillian-operated hospital in Sarthe.

"When this all happened, when we went out, we didn't know what we were going to find," said Camillian Father Scott Binet, 46, international coordinator of the Servants of St. Camillus Disaster Relief Services. Father Binet, a physician, is usually the doctor on the ambulance.

The hospital has received 10 young patients—all amputees—from medical ships, including the USNS Comfort, anchored off Port-au-Prince. Received under a cooperative agreement with neighboring St. Damien Children's Hospital in Tabarre, the patients are in the post-operative stage of recovery and will remain at St. Camillus until they can return home.

Father Binet said more are on the way. He said about 700 people are ready to be released from the offshore ships, and more beds are needed in the country. He said the Camillian disaster services program is planning to add a field hospital on the hospital grounds to accept more patients.

"Our plan is to take care of them in St. Camillus, follow them and eventually have a rehabilitation facility," he said.

The hospital also treats up to 400 people daily on an outpatient basis.
