Our Mission
“The real essence of Operation Walk can not be conveyed on paper. It is a personal mission that is embedded in the hearts and souls of each team member. Having the opportunity to use the gifts and/or talents that God has given us to help another person is the ultimate sign of love and loyalty towards Him.”

Who We AreOperation Walk Denver is a not-for-profit volunteer medical services organization that provides free surgical treatments for patients in developing countries and in the United States. These patients suffer from debilitating bone and joint conditions, such as arthritis, and do not have access to medical care. Operation Walk also educates local orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and other health care professionals on the most advanced treatment of hip and knee joint diseases.

Our HistoryThe 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.
