Team Chicago was launched in 2019 by Dr. Edie Chan. They went on their inaugural trip to Uganda in 2021 where they completed 87 general surgical and plastic surgery operations.
Inspired by their first trip, Team Chicago traveled to Ghana in 2022 and completed 112 operations in general surgery, plastics, head and neck, and gynecology.
They look forward to completing yearly mission trips to continue the mission of OI.
