We are a group of nurses from Operation International's Team New York, a dedicated group of medical professionals headed on our 30th mission trip in 2027 to provide free surgical care to patients in need. Our team is the longest-serving and founding chapter of Operation International, a nonprofit that has been offering humanitarian aid around the world since 1997. In 2026, Team NY performed 101 maxillofacial, general, thoracic, and gynecological surgeries in just five days in Ethiopia. They have also traveled to Ghana, Tanzania, Bhutan, Haiti, among other destinations where care is needed.
Team New York members, which include the founders of Operation International, routinely perform innovative general, pediatric, gynecological, plastic and reconstructive procedures. The friendships, developed after many years of traveling and working closely together, has enabled the team to provide groundbreaking health care to people in some of the most remote areas in the world.
Team NY is capable of setting up four completely functioning operating rooms with an intensive care unit within less than four hours of their arrival on missions to countries that include Africa, Asia, and South and Central America
