A capital city in rubble. Hundreds of thousands of people homeless. Tens of thousands of injured people and infection running rampant. “It was the Third World with a major medical disaster,” said Dr. Thomas Serena of Warren of his recent trip to Haiti. “I couldn’t imagine anything worse.” Serena, head of Warren General Hospital’s Wound Clinic, was selected to help lead a M.A.S.H-type relief effort for a week outside of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti in late February. He spent seven days coordinating wound care and follow-up for hundreds of Haitians injured in a devastating earthquake that struck the tiny island nation in January. Serena was attached into the relief mission through his ties with the Wound Clinic at the University of Miami. He has conducted a significant amount of research with the university in the past and was familiar with its Medishare program, which has provided relief to Haitians since 1994.
