Baltimore, MD- 1/18/2010--Passport Health, a leading provider of travel medical services, and Hydro-Photon, maker of SteriPEN portable water purifiers, are joining together to support Operation USA in its efforts to assist victims of the Haitian earthquake. OP USA is an international relief agency that helps communities at home and abroad overcome the effects of disasters, disease and endemic poverty by providing privately-funded relief, reconstruction and development aid. Since 1979, the Los Angeles-based Operation USA has worked in 99 countries, delivering over $350 million for relief and development projects.
Hydro-Photon will provide quantities of its SteriPEN water purifiers to help protect the health of relief workers and earthquake victims on the ground in Haiti. SteriPEN utilizes ultraviolet light to destroy waterborne microbes, bacteria, viruses and protozoa in seconds, helping to prevent water-borne illness. Whether your water source is a desert oasis, a tropical stream or a freshwater lake, SteriPEN purifies clear water in the most remote environments by destroying viruses, bacteria and protozoa—including Giardia and Cryptosporidium—in seconds. The SteriPen is available at most Passport Health Locations.
Operation USA supports several field organizations, including Doctors Without Borders, Partners in Health and World Vision, all of which are presently working to improve conditions in Haiti. Please support its efforts through donations at www.opusa.org.
