Dr. Paul Leger

Paul Leger is a native of Haiti and a practicing Oncologist in Washington DC.

After his graduation from the school of Medicine of the State University of Haiti,  Dr. Leger spent almost 10 years caring for the most vulnerable population of downtown Port-au-Prince affected with HIV and was at the vanguard of HIV treatment scale-up throughout the country. 

Unfortunately, Dr. Leger had to relocate his family to the United States after the earthquake that devasted Haiti in 2010.  After training in Internal Medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN  and in Hematology/Oncology at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda MD, Dr. Leger has settled down in Maryland with his family.

Dr. Leger and his wife have continued to be deeply involved in the life of Haitian Communities.

They are supporting several initiatives from the diaspora to improve life in their native Haiti. In 2012, in collaboration with other Haitian professionals and religious leaders in Nashville, TN, they co-founded the “Haitian Community of Tennessee”  to offer assistance to their fellow citizens.
