Volunteer Surgeon Highlights

    In March, we highlighted just a few of the volunteer surgeons who work with us in providing charitable reconstructive surgeries to low-income youth with visible differences. We are amazed by their commitment to providing the “gold standard of care” – quality care by a team of specialists – to not only correct surgical conditions but also to empower young patients and allow them to live their best lives! 

    We asked each of these surgeons what they do to make a difference in the lives of their  young patients: 

    Dr. Amanda Gosman (San Diego, CA): Dr. Gosman, the Chief of Plastic Surgery at  UC San Diego and Rady Children’s Hospital, and the founder of ConnectMed has  volunteered hundreds and hundreds of hours providing free surgeries for those in  need. She says: “My focus is on treating the child and improving their quality of life  in all domains: social, psychological and physical.”

    Dr. Alicia Sigler (Tijuana, Mexico): Dr. Sigler, co-founder and Vice President of  ConnectMed, gives much of her time and energy providing surgical and follow-up  care for low-income children in Tijuana, Ensenada and throughout Mexico who need  reconstructive surgeries. “I make a multidisciplinary plan and give parents access to  all the networks possible to obtain treatment at the lowest cost possible, with minimal  wait time, with very compassionate professionals.” 

    Dr. Joyce McIntyre ( Boston, Mass.): Dr. McIntyre is a craniofacial and  pediatric plastic surgeon at University of Massachusetts Medical School,  and a long-time CMI board member & volunteer. She collaborates “with families and our Craniofacial Team including specialized doctors, dentists  and therapists who…make sure these kids are getting the most cutting  edge surgeries at the right time – so they can go into the world and live  their dreams!” 

    Dr. Luciano Nahas Combina (Cordoba, Argentina): In addition to organizing two  free virtual microsurgical conferences for medical residents around the world, he  hopes to create an official foundation to provide charitable care for low income  children with his plastic surgeon father.

      Smile 4 Kids

      Nurses Appreciation Week 2021 is May 6-May 12, and our Smile4Kids cause this month is NURSES & NURSING STUDENTS – recognizing, appreciating and investing in  them! 

      We will spotlight some of the many nurses and nursing students who have  volunteered with our teams and provided critical care to patients around the world . 

      We will share updates about the low-income nursing students from rural communities  in Vietnam who have received ConnectMed scholarships to attend Hue University  School of Nursing (Hue, Vietnam). With your generosity and support this month, we  hope to continue this scholarship support. 

      Make a donation in the name of your favorite #SuperHeroNurse and we will send him/her a note of acknowledgment and a ConnectMed #OperatingWithCare mask & lanyard!
