After 20 years of volunteering with his church mission team to operate and train surgeons in the Dominican Republic, Dr. Ted returned to Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. He joined forces with Haitian Christian Mission, an organization that has been ministering to the Haitian people since 1974.

Higgins Brothers Surgicenter for Hope opened in December, 2016, and was named for Dr. Ted's father and uncle, both exemplary surgeon brothers from upstate New York. The Surgicenter provides care to people who live in rural regions surrounding Fonds Parisien. With annual earnings of less than $500, medical care is beyond reach for nearly all of our patients. Thankfully, generous donors and volunteers ensure the campus continues to be a destination for health, healing, and hope! Today, services include a variety of specialties including 24/7 Emergency Medical & Trauma Care, Family Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Urology, Pediatrics, Vascular Access, Dentistry, and Community Health.
