In response to the catastrophic earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010, Andrew John Furey rallied a team of fellow physicians from Newfoundland to provide front-line, urgent medical care in this devastated country. Upon returning to Canada, he founded Team Broken Earth. Since then, hundreds of volunteer physicians, nurses and physiotherapists from across Canada have joined the team to deliver and improve health care services in one of the world’s poorest countries.
