Two Ivy Society members, both former presidents, recently returned from Hôpital Albert Schweitzer in Deschapelles, Haiti, on separate missions to this hospital. Bill Swartz of Pittsburgh and Carl “Happy” Manstein of Philadelphia followed each other as plastic surgeons at this American-funded hospital located about three hours outside of Port-au-Prince.
Seeing a wide range of cases, including burns, lower extremity trauma, cleft lip and palate, and various neural tube disorders, both surgeons provided their expertise both in the operating room and in the classroom with young Haitian physicians. Swartz and Manstein are amongst many Ivy member plastic surgeons who volunteer their time and service, at great personal expense, to serve underprivileged people around the world.
