Expanding into Aesthetics

After decades in family medicine, Dr. Moise responded to increasing patient demand by adding aesthetics to his practice. He launched Comprehensive Medical Spa in North Miami, offering minimally invasive procedures with short recovery times.

“Patients want options that enhance their appearance without lengthy downtimes,” he shared. “We aim to meet those needs while ensuring the highest level of care.”

Commitment to Accessibility and Community

Dr. Moise’s philosophy centers on providing care for everyone. His practice accepts walk-ins and ensures no patient is turned away, regardless of insurance status.

“Healthcare access is a fundamental need,” he said. “I’ve built a team committed to delivering compassionate care to all.”

Beyond medicine, Dr. Moise dedicates time to mentoring local youth, encouraging education, and serving on boards such as the Jackson Health Foundation.

“Success means nothing unless you give back to your community,” he said.

What’s Next?

Dr. Moise continues to expand his practice and community efforts, focusing on blending medical excellence with innovative aesthetics care. He also aims to advocate for broader healthcare accessibility, reflecting his lifelong commitment to serving others.

FFTP’s 25th Annual Celebration of Hope Gala: Building Dreams and Homes for Families in Haiti

Published

on

 
COCONUT CREEK, Fla. (Oct. 3, 2024) – For 25 years, Food For The Poor’s Celebration of Hope Gala has been a beacon of hope for Haiti’s most vulnerable families, providing them not just with homes, but with new beginnings. This year, the virtual gala aims to build homes for 25 families in Patasson, Haiti, bringing the dream of a safe and secure future for those who need it most.

The livestreamed gala will take place on Saturday, Oct. 5, at 7 p.m. ET. Jamaican singer-songwriter and humanitarian Glacia Robinson will perform songs from her album “Hands of Mercy.”

Dr. Lynne Nasrallah, who has chaired the gala for a quarter of a century, reflected on her countless mission trips to Haiti and the contrast between the poverty she’s witnessed and the unwavering hope that exists among the people.

“Through my travels with Food For The Poor, I have seen unimaginable destitution in Haiti, but I have also seen remarkable hope,” Nasrallah said. “It is our donors and partners who continue to unite us in this work, giving life-changing support to those in need. Together, we bring light where there is darkness.”

Nasrallah recalls being given an assignment in the 6th grade at Sacred Heart School in Auburn, Maine: Go to the library and choose a book on the life of a saint. Nasrallah chose “The Story of a Soul” by St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the patron saint of the missions.

Later in life, when Nasrallah encountered impoverished families in her travels with FFTP, she was reminded of a valuable lesson taught by St. Thérèse, Mother Teresa and the Mahfood founders of FFTP.

“If I looked carefully, I would see Jesus in the poor,” Nasrallah said. “And then discover Jesus in the poor who are hungry, thirsty, homeless, unemployed, the outcast with leprosy. All I had to do was open my heart and my hands to embrace the hopeless, the unwanted and actually experience the embrace of Jesus himself.”

In Patasson, a remote community in Haiti’s northeast region, residents live in fragile structures that offer little protection from storms. The new homes will include two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and a rainwater collection system connected to a 500-gallon water reservoir – transformational blessings for these families. A community center will provide families a place to gather.

“What we are building in Patasson is more than just shelter,” FFTP President/CEO Ed Raine said. “We are building a foundation for hope, dignity, and self-sufficiency. The homes we provide change lives in ways that go far beyond walls and roofs. They create opportunities for families to thrive.”

Last year’s Celebration of Hope Gala raised funds to build more than 40 homes for families in Trouchouchou, Haiti, and 20 of those homes have already been completed.

“Thanks to our generous donors, these families’ prayers are being answered,” Raine said. “Their dreams of safety and stability are becoming reality, and we are humbled to be a part of that transformation.”

Committee members include: Dr. Lynne Nasrallah, chair, Linda Bonnewitz, Bruny and Paula Compas, George and Kim del Campo, Mike and Dr. Desirae Friend, Cynthia Hawkins, Nicole Nasrallah, George and Joanne Olson, Lisa Padilla Ortiz, Nancy Padilla, Dwight and Lisa Saathoff, Tom and Jean Wilkes, Jean and Donna Wilson, and Holly Wilson.

Food For The Poor, one of the largest international relief and development organizations in the nation, does much more than feed millions of hungry children and families living in poverty primarily in 15 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. This interdenominational Christian ministry provides emergency relief assistance, water, medicine, educational materials, homes, support for vulnerable children, care for the aged, skills training, and micro-enterprise development assistance.
