A Minnesota medical organization with long-standing ties to Haiti is starting to collect medical supplies to send to the earthquake stricken country. Project Haiti was started over 20 years ago and works closely with a rural hospital in the town of Pignon, about 100 miles north of Port Au Prince. MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Dr. Howard McCollister, one of the leaders of Project Haiti. He's a surgeon and spoke from Crosby, Minnesota.
