Great first clinical day here in Antigua. We saw about 50 patients this morning and did our first four total knees in the afternoon. Just 47 left to go!

*written consent was obtained from all patients to share their pictures on social media.

It takes a village to get here! Big thanks to everyone who will be taking care of patients this week but special thanks to Susie and Dr. Gustke who have played an instrumental role in the trip’s organization

Did you know that Operation Walk's mission extends beyond restoring mobility?

During each mission, our doctors share with our foreign colleagues the most advanced knowledge of joint replacement surgery. The OpWalk team teaches while working side-by-side with anesthetists, surgeons, internists, nurses in the operation room, floor and recovery room, physical therapy, and central sterilizing of instruments.

This week, let's move mountains!
-Positive Attitude ✔️
-Kind Hearts ❤️
-Can-Do Spirit 👍

Thanks Operation Walk!

Happy patients thanks to your generosity ❤️

These are the faces of just some of the 47 patients who received life-changing surgery. A farmer who will once again be able to work his fields to support his wife and three children. A middle school teach who will be able to return to her students after a five year absence. The single mother of two who supports her two children and parents by working three jobs. A baker of thirty years that will be able to join his son and wife back at the family business. Our team of volunteers were able to change lives with just one surgery, and with that change created a chance for our patience to regain independence, self-reliance, and community stability.
