Eat at Sweet Basil to Support Circle of Hope's International Medical Team

Every day but Friday and Saturday, now until Oct. 31, is offering special prix fixe selections priced at $50 per person, and half of that purchase will be donated to Needham-based Circle of Hope’s International Medical Team.

This special three-course menu will include choice of soup or salad, entrée and dessert. All the options will be inspired by traditional Haitian dishes or Caribbean flavors with a Sweet Basil twist. You can even order it as takeout.

Circle of Hope's International Medical Team is an all-volunteer group of medical professionals and support personnel dedicated to providing essential healthcare for citizens of rural Haiti. Led by Dr. Emilie Hitron, members of the International Medical Team deliver medication and other supplies, and donate personal vacation time to treat patients in Haiti.

Patients receive a variety of services, from routine medical screening and prenatal care, to diagnosis and treatment of both acute and chronic illnesses.

Donations to Circle of Hope’s International Medical Team also help fund the salary of a full time Haitian nurse who staffs one of the clinics the Team has been visiting for the past 10 years.
