​James Elsbree

I graduated from Oral Roberts University School of Medicine in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1984, and completed a Family Medicine residency in Middletown, Connecticut in 1987. My wife Ruth and our 5 children have lived in Marietta, Georgia since 1991. They have joined me on several of my 9 medical mission trips to Belle Anse, Haiti since 2000 when I first accompanied Dr. Jerry Lluberas. I have served on the board of HERO for many years, and I am currently President of Southeast Haiti Medical Facility (503C). We have known Bekert  Descollines since 2000, and have sponsored his work as project manager for many of the HERO project initiatives. We hosted Bekert at our house when he came to Marietta for English Language school.
