Modular Homes Donated to Haitian Hospital

In addition, the hospital last month received four modular housing units courtesy of Brian Lesh, founder and CEO of Target Logistics of Boston.

Lesh’s firm provides turnkey workforce and event housing to remote and hostile work sites and festivities, spanning the globe from the sands of the Middle East Desert to the cold mining towns in Canada and the Olympics in Athens, Greece.

According to dotnews, Dr. Mark Pearlmutter, Vice President of Steward Healthcare in eastern Massachusetts, has made 16 trips to the hospital since the massive earthquake in January, 2010 that wiped out a large portion of the country. Each time he has brought staff and medical supplies to Sacre Coeur.

One of the things we want to focus on is high-risk pregnancies, and the hope is that these modular homes can be a maternal wait home adjacent to the hospital, so when the women go into labor they are right across the street from the hospital so they can have a controlled medical delivery as opposed to in their remote village,” said Pearlmutter. “If we can get these patients to move to the hospital in their last month of pregnancy, we can save a lot of lives.
