Sarah Kaspari Baker, a 47-year-old family NP from Bismarck, N.D., provides primary care at the Northland Community Health Clinic in McClusky, N.D., as well as trauma care in the emergency department of St. Alexius hospital in Bismarck. She was invited on a medical mission by the founders of a clinic on Gonave Island (La Gonave) in Haiti, in the town of Anse-à-Galets. The earthquake struck while she was working at the clinic, and she was able to help victims of the quake before returning home on January 18, 2010. "Nobody in Haiti turns somebody else away if they can help," she says. Hear her tell her story below.

Wow! What a terrific conversation and a story that will live in my mind for a long time. Sarah thank you for sharing your experiences and what terrific improvisation. Our Pastor and 3 young men went days after the earthquake to take supplies and food and one thing I will remember from his experience is the Haitian Pastor saying thank you to those of us in the U.S. and that he and his congreation were praying for us. We are so blessed and the bravery and dignity of the Haitian people has been extraordinary.
