Team Heart of Texas successfully finished their second mission, completing 71 cases for patients in need. This was the team's first visit to Zambia.
The mission included numerous complex thyroid and head and neck cases, plus likely the first two complex sinus surgeries for an OI team. The team also offered education to local staff to ensure their impact sustains long after they leave.
Team Heart of Texas was founded in 2024 by Dr. Evan Longfield (ENT, Head and Neck surgeon), Kati Davenport (ENT nurse practitioner), and Dr. Ryan Raju (ENT, Head and Neck surgeon). Together, they formed the team with a shared commitment to delivering expert surgical care to underserved communities.
