Viviane Lorgeat and Marie-Christine Mascary go to Montreal to learn how to set up Kay Mackenson's own first camp for children with diabetes. A wonderful mutual experience about to turn into a long lasting partnership. We cannot wait to start an exchange program for staff and patients!
Kay Mackenson (Haitian Creole translation for “Mackenson’s House”) is a clinic that caters to children with chronic, non-communicable diseases. We focus on early detection, management, education and prevention of acute and chronic complications of a variety of diseases including diabetes, heart disease, kidney disorders and juvenile arthritis.

Camp Kay Mackenson
Diabetes camp is a fun, effective and heartfelt way to help young diabetics learn how to live with their condition. To make this camp a reality for 60 campers we need to raise $10,000.
