(PORTLAND. Ore., Jan. 21, 2010)— Medical Teams International volunteer doctors and nurses
are now in place, performing orthopedic surgeries and treating hundreds of people each day at the
350-bed Kings Hospital, just outside Port-au-Prince. There are many ways to give – including these
options that will make sure your gift goes further:

· The 5th Annual Good Earth Home, Garden & Living Show held January 22-24 in
Eugene, Ore. is partnering with Medical Teams International, to raise funds for disaster
medical assistance in Haiti. Berg Productions, the show management, will match every
dollar donated at the show up to $10,000. Volunteers will be collecting donations by
check, cash and by credit card. Admission into the show is free.
· The Regence Foundation contributed a $50,000 matching gift. This means that
