Welcome to the Hôpital Sacré Coeur CRUDEM

In 1968, the Brothers of the Sacred Heart answered a call to help the people of Milot, Haiti improve conditions in their village and the surrounding region. They began by building roads, bridges, schools medical clinics, a tile factory, and a lumber mill. They brought electricity and clean water to the area, and in 1986, built an eight-bed hospital and operating room. They called it Hôpital Sacré Coeur, and it has been helping to change lives for the better, one life at a time, ever since.

In 1993, the Archbishop of Cap Haitien gave to the CRUDEM Foundation, Inc. the operating responsibility for Hôpital Sacré Coeur. We are now the largest private hospital and only reliable medical provider in the Milot region of Northern Haiti. It is estimated that in Haiti 60% of the population, particularly in rural areas lack access to basic healthcare services. Hôpital Sacré Coeur provides a 64 bed hospital that serves 4,000 in-patient admissions annually and also offers outpatient care in pediatric, surgical and medical clinics. Our Nutrition Center ensures malnourished children two good meals a day. HSC provides public healthcare services to the entire region with a population of 225,000. At present roughly one in five people in the catchment area is being served by the hospital.
