This four-month transnational program utilizes a transformative education model aimed at equipping the upcoming generation of healthcare providers with the essential tools and knowledge required to address health inequities and power structures. Furthermore, it prepares participants to effectively lead interventions that are tailored to local contexts. The curriculum covers a range of topics, including social determinants of health, colonialism, and narrative medicine. The course was delivered in a hybrid format, comprising both in-person and online sessions. It was led and implemented by EqualHealth staff, who possess diverse backgrounds and extensive field experience, supplemented by the contributions of international experts, professors, and researchers. In our ongoing effort to evolve our teaching methods through capacity-building initiatives, we conducted three faculty development sessions for our teaching team on June 13 and 25. Bringing together faculty staff from our locations in Haiti, Minnesota, and Uganda, the sessions delved into key topics such as diversity, Narrative Medicine, Story and Writing as pedagogy, and Global Solidarity. These sessions provided an invaluable opportunity for self-reflection on power and privilege, sharing pedagogical strategies across sites, and identifying pathways for enhancing the quality and impact of our courses. 6820 0 0 Mutual Aid: EqualHealth is committed to strengthening the capacity of Haitian healthcare providers operating in resource-constrained environments.

In June 2024, our dedicated team in Haiti, in partnership with the Social Medicine Association of Healthcare Providers in Haiti (SMAH) and local chapter members, organized a vibrant community-building gathering. This event not only allowed participants to connect with one another but also aimed to strengthen the collaborative bonds essential for addressing the numerous challenges they face in their work. Around 15 participants engaged in thoughtful discussions about the complexities of delivering healthcare in demanding conditions. These conversations addressed obstacles such as limited resources and logistical difficulties, while also exploring the innovative strategies and solutions they have developed to improve patient care. 0 0 0 387477 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 6 0 0 1 HA 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 MA X Arthur Walela 6172302571 PO Box 1575 Brookline MA 02446 Owilli Alex Olirus Director 25 0 X 0 0 45600 Youri Encelotti Louis Director 20 0 X 0 0 36480 Cassandra Fox Board Member 3 0 X 0 0 0 Michelle Morse President, Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Marisa Nadas Director, Implementation Chair 2 0 X 0 0 0 Zadok Sacks Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Hugo Ernesto Flores Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kettie Louis Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Michael Westerhaus Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Evan Lyon Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Amy Finnegan Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Bernadette Senyana Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jennie Riley Director 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 82080 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 268500 0 138636 0 407136 0 8622 8622 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 415758 8622 0 0 2601 2601 370280 252391 72352 45537 1598 1106 492 21400 17400 3000 1000 998 975 23 839 617 222 20731 11040 4487 5204 5000 5000 44037 38777 4760 500 50530 48697 1614 219 1241 1241 11461 6868 3334 1259 980 764 200 16 531696 387477 90461 53758 391123 590296 309445 4414 704982 590296 0 0 X 704982 590296 0 0 704982 590296 704982 590296 X -115938 0 0 0 0 1252 X 0 0 0 X 459944 439249 936025 187824 407150 2430192 459944 439249 936025 187824 407150 2430192 2430192 8622 8622 0 0 0 0 0 2438814 0.99646 0.99053 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Draft copy of the 990 filing is sent to the leadership team to review and can suggest any changes that are made before filing is submitted Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 These are shared upon request from partners, trustees and funders Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 Rec difference
