About the Association of Haitian Physicians Abroad (AMHE-NY)


The New York Chapter of the Association of Haitian Physicians Abroad is a 35 year
old membership not-for-profit organization of over 1000 physicians of Haitian ancestry.
They are represented in clinical practice and academia throughout the state of New York.
The primary focus of the organization is to assist in meeting the health care needs of the
community-at-large and to provide professional development opportunities for physicians.
Our mission is to advocate for the community in health related matters; help the
Haitian physician in the fulfillment of his/her professional and social life when needed;
cultivate professional ties with the State University of Haiti; and contribute to the
advancement of medicine and the betterment of public health in Haiti.
Proceeds of the Annual Gala Dinner Dance will assist the Chapter in fulfilling its mission.
