On Wednesday, February 23, 2010, the Police Surgeons Benevolent Association, a group of professionals in the medical community who are dedicated to the support and advancement of local law enforcement (www.psbainc.com), recognized H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 for its immediate response to Haiti after the devastating earthquake in January. Individual plaques were presented to the H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 members who took part in the week long Haiti Rescue Mission, which was made possible thanks to the support and backing of Jefferies and Company, by PSBA President Neil J. Dash, MD, Executive Vice President Cary S. Pollack, MD, and Secretary William P. Fenty, DCH.
PSBA Medical Representative Victor Politi, MD, a H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 member who serves as H.E.A.R.T. 9/11’s Medical Director, had previously told his colleagues about H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 and its mission statement. He notified them of the H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 Haiti deployment and kept them apprised of its progress and successful outcome. Dr. Politi also explained about the plans for continued assistance and deployments back to the ravaged country. It was for these reasons that the board of the Police Surgeons Benevolent Association voted to recognize H.E.A.R.T. 9/11.
