Fort Wayne Team

    Among the most helpful people we worked with was the team from Fort Wayne, Indiana.  Orthopaedic surgeons Ted Chaykowski and Matt Hicks came down with a PA Randy and an OR nurse Peggy. Randy spoke fluent Creole, having lived in Haiti, and was a great social and spiritual comfort to our patients. Peggy had been an OR supervisor and ran our sterilization and CS. This enabled Ted and Matt as well as the rest of the team to perform a large number of surgeries. It would be a great pleasure to serve with them again.  We hope it isn't necessary.
