Aspen Medical’s work in Haiti recognised with ISOA 2025 Global Impact Vanguard Award
Aspen Medical has been honoured with a 2025 Global Impact Vanguard Award from the International Stability Operations Association (ISOA) in recognition of exceptional performance delivering healthcare services in one of the world’s most challenging environments.
The award acknowledges our US team’s critical role in delivering the Medical Services component of the U.S. LOGCAP support mission to the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSSM) in Haiti, where it has built a robust and resilient healthcare capability under extreme operational conditions.
Aspen Medical President in the USA Ethan Bond said, “It is a great honour to win this prestigious award once, but for us to have done it four times is unbelievable. Our previous wins were for our work in West Africa during the Ebola outbreak, the Battle for Mosul and our work in Ukraine. This confirms our status as the global ‘go to’ company for delivering healthcare in the most challenging environments.”
Facing undeveloped sites with little to no infrastructure, the team achieved Initial Operating Capability within 10 days of contract award and established a fully functional Role 2 medical facility by day 21. The facility has since provided continuous care across 37 medical service lines, including trauma, infectious disease, occupational health and mental health, while maintaining operations through mass casualty events, security threats and supply challenges.
The team’s commitment to patient care in austere settings is further demonstrated by its innovative Walking Blood Bank program - a lifesaving initiative developed to ensure emergency transfusions in the absence of a formal blood supply chain. Multilingual protocols, infectious disease screening and tailored training have enabled safe and effective delivery of this critical service to a diverse multinational population.
To date, the mission has delivered more than 4,500 patient consultations and facilitated over 50 successful aeromedical evacuations despite restricted airspace and challenging security conditions. Through careful coordination with military and diplomatic partners, Aspen Medical maintained uninterrupted clinical capability across the mission.
