Welcome to Operation Access
We help low-income, uninsured people receive the surgical and specialty care they need but cannot afford by leveraging community-based medical volunteerism. Operation Access is dedicated to restoring our patients’ ability to work, support loved ones and enjoy healthy lives while preventing the development of more serious medical conditions. The donated surgeries and procedures provided through our organization also help reduce the strain on emergency rooms, where most Operation Access patients would otherwise turn for care.
Our Mission
To mobilize a network of medical volunteers, hospitals and referring community clinics to provide low-income, uninsured people access to donated outpatient surgeries and specialty care that improve their health, ability to work and quality of life.
OA Institute
A new national initiative to promote local medical volunteerism and strengthen the healthcare safety net across the U.S.
