HAM founder, Dr. Tracee Laing, graduated from Ohio State University with a dual major in pre-med and fine art. So when she went to Haiti in 1997 she saw not only the tremendous medical needs of the people, but also the beautiful handcrafted art the Haitians created. Realizing the suitcases she and her teams used to transport the medications needed for their medical missions would be empty at the end of the trip, she had an idea: purchase Haitian art from the artists to bring back to Ohio. In Granville, she organized a silent auction of Haitian art in which she raised awareness and funds for her work in Haiti. With the funds raised from this event, Dr. Laing purchased medications for her next mission to Haiti, and came upon the name for the non-profit organization she would create to support her work, Healing Art Missions.
