HBS Foundation, Inc.

Hôpital Bon Samaritain (HBS) is a full service hospital with outreach programs in the river valley of Limbé, Haiti. Since 1953, Hôpital Bon Samaritain has provided health care services for the greater population of the Limbé Valley located in the Département du Nord. Read the inspiring story about how HBS was founded at hbslimbe.org/history.

HBS operates a ward/home, named Kaï Mira, for approximately 25 abandoned chidren with disabilities requiring special needs.  Last year, a new feeding and physical therapy program was initiated with very positive results for these children.
