La Gonâve Wesleyan Hospital was established in 1948 on the island of La Gonâve off the coast of Haiti by the Wesleyan Mission in Haiti. For more than seventy years the hospital has provided health services to the 120,000 people living on the island of La Gonâve. The hospital provides emergency care, inpatient care for adults and children, maternity and newborn care, and many surgical services. In addition to these services, the hospital serves as a base for the community health education program and provides support for rural clinics sponsored by several partner organizations. The hospital employs a staff of approximately 100 Haitians who are supported in their work by Global Partners missionaries and visiting teams of specialists. La Gonave Wesleyan Hospital is committed to providing healthcare that is sustainable, equitable and serviceable for the community of La Gonave.

Wesleyan University School of Nursing on the island of La Gonave, Haiti was founded in 2014 to provide education and training in nursing skills along with spiritual training and life lessons. Recently the school ranked first among nursing schools in Haiti based on passing rates of the government RN exam and the proficiency of the students and graduates. There are currently fifty-five hard-working, ambitious and enthusiastic students across all 4 years of studies who are committed to changing the face of healthcare in Haiti. Students are incredibly grateful for the generosity of financial partners who provide scholarships and help fund a nutritional program that supplements the students’ diet while they are attending the program.
