Dr. Paul Nacier joins BRA’s board membership

At an annual board meeting of the Batey Relief Alliance held on December 27, 2003, Dr. Paul Nacier, a member of the Association of Haitian Physicians Abroad (AMHE), was voted in as the organization’s newest board member. “Dr. Nacier demonstrates great commitment to the mission of the BRA and the plight of thousands in the bateyes,” said Carol King, President of the Batey Relief Alliance.

Dr. Nacier’s first rapport with the BRA took place about two years ago when he set up a joint health care mission for members of the AMHE with the BRA. Since then, Dr. Nacier has helped recruit each year more than 17 health care providers from the AMHE to provide short-term care during missions to the bateyes. “I am honored to work with Dr. Nacier who shows great concern for the needs of the batey population,” said Dr. Raymond Thertulien, Medical Director of the Batey Relief Alliance.

Dr. Nacier will serve as a liaison for the BRA with the AMHE, and assist in the recruitment of volunteer health care providers and fundraising.
