Mark Hayward ‘86 aids Haiti, Chile quake victims
When Mark Hayward ’86 of King George, Va., heard about the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12, he knew he had to help. A physician’s assistant specializing in tactical, operational and emergency medicine in Maryland, Mark had lived in Haiti for three months in 2009 as a medical officer with a team of U.S. law enforcement personnel. That experience, combined with 16 years in the U.S. Army—including four years as a Special Forces medic and five years as a combat-arms battalion physician’s assistant—made him an ideal candidate to offer aid.
