Operation Access Named San Francisco Business Times Health Care Hero
Community Impact/ Organization - July 27, 2011

Operation Access has helped over 7500 low-income, uninsured Bay Area residents receive the surgical and specialty care they need but cannot afford for 18 years. Built on a foundation of professional medical volunteers and their affiliated medical centers, Operation Access has pursued its mission to restore our patients’ ability to:

• earn a living
• care for loved ones, and
• enjoy healthy lives while preventing the development of more serious medical conditions.

We invite you to learn more about our core Bay Area program, our volunteers and our patients.

Operation Access is collaborating with multiple organizations to promote local medical volunteerism and strengthen the healthcare safety net across the U.S. To read more about the Operation Access Institute (OAI) which was established to support replication of the OA model and to work with others to identify best volunteerism practices, please visit OAI.

Community Dollars make the difference

For every $1 we receive, we arrange $13 worth of surgical and specialty care. Last year the total value of care was $16 million.
