Healthy women make for healthy families. Their goal is to offer services to women that will decrease their risk of dying from what should be a normal life event: pregnancy and birth. However, Haiti has the highest infant and maternal mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere. It is their core belief that no woman or child should ever die because of where they live.

The Gesundheit Institute is a project in holistic medical care based on the belief that one cannot separate the health of the individual from the health of the family, the community, the world, and the health care system itself. Gesundheit?s model is designed to protect care as the core of the medical interaction. Our model is organized around these principles:1. Care is free; no third party reimbursement is accepted;2. Patients are treated as friends;3. Ample time is given to the care interaction - initial interviews with patients are 3 hours long;4. All complementary medicine is welcomed;5. The health of the staff is as important as the health of the patients; 6. Trust is central to the care interaction (i.e no malpractice insurance); and7. Care is infused with fun and play.

In Malawi maternal and infant mortality rates are among the highest in the world. Hospitals and clinics are severely understaffed, which means that even when critically ill women and children reach a facility in time to save their lives many still do not receive the care they need. And, once they leave the hospital they receive no ongoing support. This is a huge problem and we are a small organization doing what we can in this environment. We support the provision of home based nursing care to high risk postpartum women and babies. We offer high quality personalized care to the women and babies enrolled in our programs, we strive to involve families and communities, and we hold up the truth that even a small difference is a significant difference especially when made with compassion and love.
