Imagine This: International Medical Corps in Haiti 3

International Medical Corps — The ER: In Port-au-Prince, Dr. Neil Joyce describes the unthinkably difficult conditions in which the International Medical Corps' emergency room must operate.

After weeks of round the clock emergency medical care at this International Medical Corps emergency room where over a thousand people were being treated daily, the volume and type of care has evolved.

From emergency amputation over the first few weeks to a more day to day care 8 weeks after the disaster, International Medical Corps continues to provide health care in Haiti.


Imagine This! shows the world as a canvas of creation where everything and everyone are inextricably connected.

Each week an amazing team of inventors, engineers, environmentalists and artists, with skills as diverse as their backgrounds, will embark on a mission and undertake projects for communities all over the globe. Whether its building a playground for children in Peru, helping an Alaskan widow save her home from collapsing into the sea, or bringing sunlight to a town in Eastern Europe afflicted with seasonal affective disorder, the Imagine This! team finds creative solutions to unique problems and reminds us all whats possible when we band together.

Filmed with breathtaking cinematography, Imagine This! will journey to exotic destinations — from a sacred valley to a Holy land, from the mother of all jungles to the grandfather of all deserts, as well as a few destinations right here at home in the US. At each stop, there will be a community in need, a mission to complete, and a week to make a difference.

Under intense pressure, the Imagine This! team will work around the clock in a challenge fueled by sweat and perseverance, as their lives become intertwined with the people for whom they are working so hard. On the last day of the week, no matter their level of preparedness, the team must reveal their life-altering solutions, in an emotional display, in front of the entire community theyve come to know and care for so deeply.
