Dr. Stelnicki, a board certified adult and pediatric plastic &amp; reconstructive surgeon has been practicing in South Florida for many years. Mrs. Stelnicki, who has experience with medical missions, is an operating room nurse and professor of nursing at Barry University in Florida. In January 2017 Dr. Stelnicki began providing life changing surgeries to both children and adults in the Virgin Islands. He and his family plan to permanently relocate to the USVI early next year.<\/p>\n<p>The Stelnicki\u2019s love for the area, along with a first-hand understanding of the current needs of the medical community and the challenges being faced, provided the catalyst for C.H.A.R.M.\u2019s current hurricane relief campaign, the hospital said.a All funds raised during this hurricane relief campaign will be used to directly support the health care systems in the USVI, along with Puerto Rico and the BVI.\u00a0 \u201cThere is a huge need in the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. C.H.A.R.M. will be directing its efforts to hurricane relief for the balance of 2017. 100% of funds raised will go to support healthcare,\u201d said Dr. Stelnicki.\u00a0 \u201cWe hope to provide another check in January.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Stelnicki went on to explain that proceeds will go directly to the hospitals so the people who need care the most can receive it.\u00a0 \u201cOur recovery will take time. A strong healthcare system is essential for a healthy community.\u00a0 People need to know good care is available at SRMC \u2013 for both residents and all the relief workers on the ground helping to make us whole again,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are extremely grateful to C.H.A.R.M., the Stelnicki\u2019s and all the donors who have supported the campaign thus far.\u00a0 Your generous donations are appreciated\u201d said SRMC CEO Dr. Bernard Wheatley.\u00a0 \u201cOur goal remains to provide the people of this territory with quality healthcare.
