CBS Evening News reports on PIH’s rehabilitation work in Haiti
Posted on 02/06/12
On February 4, CBS Evening News correspondent Whit Johnson reported on PIH's rehabilitiation efforts in post-earthquake Haiti.
"There is a common perception that disability is something that's permanent," said PIH Rehab Coordinator Dr. Koji Nakashima. "You become disabled, and once you are given that marker of disability, you become less of a person." In his story, Johnson shows how PIH's rehabilitation team is combatting that misperception by providing care to thousands.
