Dr. Art Rideout is a plastic reconstructive surgeon working in St John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. He is the CEO and co-founder of Team Broken Earth, a registered charity driven by doctors, nurses, and other specialized healthcare professionals. When the earthquake hit Haiti in 2010, Dr. Rideout, Dr. Andrew Furey, and Dr. Jeremy Pridham saw an opportunity to put a small team together to help. While they originally thought it be a one-off thing at the time, Team Broken Earth has since expanded its chapters nationwide and is currently doing relief work in Guatemala, Haiti, Nepal, Bangladesh, Nicaragua, and Ethiopia. In this interview, Dr. Rideout shared his background, Team Broken Earth’s accomplishments, and goals for the future.
