Mission: Restore has chosen to travel to places where most doctors would not go, to conduct the type of surgeries that most doctors prefer not to perform. The Foundation is comprised of doctors who volunteer their time and expertise at home and abroad. The overarching goal is to create a sustainable infrastructure where long-term relationships are forged and permanent change is made.
The Foundation delivers care to patients who require long-term and complex medical care including patients with severe scarring from burns. These patients are often severely debilitated and cannot walk or work because of severe scarring. Not only will Mission: Restore doctors provide care to these patients with challenging cases, they will also train local surgeons and examine outcomes to develop better ways of delivering this care on a sustained basis. The care delivered directly is important, but we can only help a fraction of the patients in need. By developing best practices and protocols as well as educating local doctors in each site, we can help many, many more.
