Papa Doc and Baby Doc

Team Sinai is proud to welcome two “new” members who are actually both experienced volunteers at Hopital Adventiste d’Haiti. John (Papa Doc) Sauter has worked with CURE teams twice in HAH and son Chris (Baby Doc) helped his dad on the last mission.

Dr. John Sauter has been in anesthesia practice for the past 23 years.  Following residency he served four years of active duty in the US Navy practicing anesthesia, including stints on Aircraft Carriers Saratoga and Forrestal, and aboard the Baltimore based hospital ship USNS Comfort. Since separation from the service, John has been practicing in the Philadelphia suburbs. His special interests are obstetrical and cardiothoracic anesthesia, but has a broad experience in orthopedic, general surgery, GYN, and urology anesthesia.

Chris Sauter is 23 years old and currently with 'rents in Philly.  He graduated from Colgate University last spring where he concentrated in Molecular Biology and minored in Economics.  He spent one semester working at the National Cancer Institute and another semester at the University of Cardiff, Wales.  He currently works at a research laboratory at Thomas Jefferson University in the division of Medical Oncology, spending most of his time in the company of mice and rats.  In his spare time, he enjoys outdoor activities, reading, and volunteering. He is a certified Wilderness First Responder.  Chris’ previous experience as a volunteer in Haiti was a unique, eye opening experience, and cemented his desire to follow in Dad’s footsteps in a medical career.
