This morning I was shown a video of a Creighton medical team that had volunteered to go to Haiti to help out the earthquake victims. What was amazing about it was not only that fact that they are going down there themselves to help out, but also the fact that they organized the trip in less than 48 hours. The nine member group consists of two surgical teams ready to help wherever necessary. The team left there on Jan. 16 and it is unknown how long they will stay, originally thought about a week or so. This is a great testament to the education Creighton offers as well as the opportunities that might come about because of it.

Here is the link to the press release and video: http://www.creighton.edu/publicrelations/newscenter/news/2010/january10/january162010/haiticumcaid01162010/index.php
