Douglas Flagg, MD
Treasurer Dr. Flagg, an internist and rheumatologist, currently practices at the Cleveland Louis Stokes Veterans Administration Medical Center. During his senior year of training at MetroHealth Hospital in Cleveland, he had the opportunity to work hands-on at Parirenyatwa General Hospital and Sanyati Baptist Hospital in Zimbabwe. He also participated in rounds and observed clinics at both Mulago Hospital and Nsambya Hospital in Kampala, Uganda, where his spouse has ongoing research. Dr. Flagg's observations of the healthcare challenges in Africa made it clear that similar challenges exist in Haiti, which is less than a 2-hour flight from Miami. After meeting Dr. Saint-Vil and hearing about his vision for healthcare, education, and empowerment for Haitians, he was inspired to support his vision. After traveling to Haiti for a mobile clinic in August 2018 and seeing firsthand the difference that the Haitian Vision Foundation is making on the ground, Dr. Flagg's enthusiasm for the organization has only grown stronger. |
