No one knows the number of amputations performed in Haiti since the earthquake, but she estimates it is more than 4,000. \u201cAmputations are still being performed. There are crush injuries, compression wounds and permanent nerve damage for many people there,\u201d Hanks said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2010\/03\/utc-faculty-members-help-heal-haiti-earthquake-survivors\/\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding-right: 15px;width: 318px\" valign=\"top\">In response to the earthquake that struck Haiti in January, students from UTC and Chattanooga State Community College are uniting to launch a campaign to collect critical medical supplies. Known as \u201cEmbrace Haiti,\u201d the project reminds the community that the crisis in Haiti continues and focuses primarily on obtaining orthotic and prosthetic equipment-devices that improve mobility and independence for individuals who have broken leg or foot bones or who have had a limb amputated. \u201cEmbrace Haiti\u201d begins on Saturday, March 20, and concludes on Monday, March 29. The public is invited to participate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2010\/03\/utc-and-chattanooga-state-students-collaborate-to-embrace-haiti\/\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2516","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-community","7":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
