"Operation Walk Denver is the dream of a group of healthcare providers committed to providing free surgical care for those with debilitating arthritis in developing countries. Our missions have provided us with great personal satisfaction and the ability to give back to those in need."
Dr. Douglas A. Dennis, Executive Director

The Operation Walk Denver team can consist of up to 45 healthcare volunteers from the Denver area who are united in their passion for helping people who are in desperate need of orthopedic care, both in our community and abroad. The mission trip volunteers include surgeons, physicians, anesthesiologists, physical therapists, medical technicians, and nurses. The complex operation is organized and managed by a leadership team made up of highly skilled medical professionals. This core group is actively involved in all aspects of each mission including logistics, medical team coordination, patient selection, surgical procedures, rehabilitation and the education of physicians in the host country.

Together, the Operation Walk Denver team brings wide-ranging knowledge and experience to help impoverished, disabled patients walk again. Team members also allow orthopedic colleagues from other cities to participate on trips, working side-by-side so they gain the experience necessary to perform healing missions of their own.
