Our Vision:
Accessible, affordable, high-quality healthcare for every individual in Haiti – today and in perpetuity.
Our Mission:
We work to create a model for sustainable, community-based healthcare in Haiti that empowers people to lead healthier lives.
Our Core Values:
We put our patients at the center of everything we do.
Our services span the lifecycle, from newborns to the elderly, and our central goal is to ensure that every patient feels safe and secure in receiving care from us.
We respect and support the role of the public sector to build a healthy future for Haiti.
Haiti’s Ministry of Health (MSPP) is the centerpoint for a healthy population. At C2C, we build the MSPP’s capacity and, through our model, optimize the government’s footprint of community-based care.
We believe that working to address sustainable financing of healthcare is a core responsibility of all providers in Haiti’s healthcare landscape.
For a healthcare model to withstand the challenges of a volatile political and social climate, economic instability, and funding fluctuations, it must address financial resilience and sustainability.
We have a duty to be a beacon for high-quality healthcare delivery in Haiti.
By refusing to accept anything less than excellence in our care delivery, we endeavor to motivate the entire healthcare sector, and NGO actors, to demand the highest standards of care delivery for themselves.
We honor Haiti’s healthcare professionals and their commitment to helping people attain their human right to good health.
Healthcare workers are the lifeblood of the nation. A healthy population, able to pursue livelihoods and raise families, is the key to Haiti’s bright future, and it is healthcare workers who make public health possible through their selfless commitment to people.
We believe that health is a fundamental human right, and it should be both accessible and affordable for everyone.
When someone can afford care for themselves and their loved ones, it brings a sense of dignity and pride.
We are committed to fostering a culture of lifelong learning and continuous growth throughout our organization.
We owe it to our patients, our staff, and our model to acknowledge that complex problems require iteration, learning, and the courage to experiment and to try new things. Sometimes we succeed; sometimes we fail. But we always learn and do better.
We believe that innovation in service delivery is essential to health systems transformation.
We pursue innovative solutions to improving patient care, including leveraging technology to enhance operational efficiency, fuel holistic care, deepen connections between patients and the care system, and maintain quality.
Our History:
C2C was founded on a simple, powerful premise: that access to healthcare is the foundation of all efforts to lift poor people out of poverty. Sick people cannot attend school; they cannot be economically productive; they cannot engage in family and civic life; they cannot raise children or care for the elderly. Millions of people suffer from preventable diseases and disabilities — and for lack of a functional, reliable, well-resourced health clinic to help them get well and stay healthy.
C2C’s co-founders knew that a high-quality community clinic had the potential to transform families and communities. And they set out to create a model that would endure. Founded in 2009, C2C’s early years were dedicated to solving the infrastructure and resource challenges of healthcare delivery in Haiti. After the devastating Haitian earthquake in 2010, C2C’s containerized clinic model served over 40,000 people in Port-au-Prince. Our partners and patients taught us about the persistent challenges of supply chain maintenance, human resources for health, and financial sustainability. We partnered with the government of Namibia to launch a specialty clinic for reproductive health. Over our founding years, we embraced an ethos of learning, listening, iteration, and agility.
Today, C2C operates a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with Haiti’s Ministry of Health. Together, we seized an opportunity to join forces through a PPP that would – rather than launch new clinics to fill service delivery gaps – rehabilitate existing underperforming government clinics nationwide by adopting C2C’s management and operational structure.
Our “one-stop-shop” community clinics offer consultation with a physician, a fully-stocked pharmacy, and a diagnostic lab on-site. C2C clinics operate as social enterprises – driven by the belief that long-term health impact is undergirded by confronting the real challenges of financial solvency. This network of community clinics is expanding rapidly across northern Haiti: each clinic functioning as a community business, managed by local staff and clinicians, working within the larger healthcare ecosystem to demonstrate that access to primary care, prevention education, and community support can be transformative and save lives.
