Hospital in need helps Haiti
St. Vincent’s paramedic George Contreras, left, led a team from the hospital who traveled down to Haiti and helped in the earthquake relief. “Even in the second wave, my team was seeing people in Cité Soleil who had not received treatment yet and were brought in with open wounds and underlying chronic conditions that had not been treated for years,” Contreras said. Hospital staff went down with NYC Medics, a group founded by former St. Vincent’s Midtown Hospital paramedics in the aftermath of the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan.
