Comite de Bienfaisance de Pignon (CBP)  

CBP is a Haitian non-profit organization that was established in 1984 by Guy Deve Theodore, M.D., F.A.C.S. for providing medical and public health facilities in the North Central Plateau area of Haiti. Dr. Theodore, a Haitian originally from Pignon, having practiced in the USA since 1976, formed the Christian Mission of Pignon, Inc. (CMP) in 1980 with the help of Arkansans, for making medical and dental mission trips to Pignon.

HOSPITAL BIENFAISANCE de PIGNON  (HBP)  

Initially a clinic was built on the site where Dr. Theodore was born. The work of CBP has evolved since 1981 into a medical system with a 65-bed hospital in Pignon and four clinics located within 20 miles of Pignon. This health network serves 167,374 inhabitants in the area. Together, they handled more than 45,000 patient visits in 2005.  And the goal is to continue to improve services that will reach many more each year.

CHRISTIAN   MISSION of  PIGNON (CMP)  

CMP is a U.S. based entity established since 1983 to assist CBP with development efforts in Healthcare, Education, Agriculture, Construction, Clean Water and Sanitation. Several other organizations have affiliated with CMP to lend their support and expertise in medical and non-medical mission work. 

Many of these volunteer groups join forces with the CMP/HBP's public healthcare practices to provide one of the most successful community health systems in Haiti. Typical health statistics for all of Haiti compared to Pignon show major achievements to date.

Phase 1 - Maternity Housing Project

The primary purpose this project is to build a facility to provide housing for any high risk expecting mothers that live in the remote areas around Hospital Bienfaisance of Pignon (HBP) in Haiti .  Christian Mission of Pignon CMP/HBP has started this maternity house to accommodate twelve high risk pregnant women and their guest within the grounds of the hospital.  It will consist of twelve bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a general room for visitors, a porch, kitchen and laundry facilities and necessary furnishings such as beds, chairs, tables and light fixtures.  This facility will be staffed by nurses with an obstetrician on call 24hours/day. 

 Currently, if a patient is determined to be in need of closer observation, but does not meet criteria for hospital admission, the choice to return back home is a very difficult one, due to bad roads conditions. The maternity house will be able to bridge this void by providing housing for, monitoring the medical progress of, and providing access to immediate medical care for, high risk pregnant women.  If the obstetrician determines a pregnant woman would benefit from frequent visits and she is unable to make the travel from home, she would be eligible to stay at the facility.  This is one more way to ensure closer monitoring, as well as access to immediate medical intervention including emergent caesarean delivery if the need arises.
