About Us
Restoring mobility for those in need through free joint replacement surgeries
Operation Walk Los Angeles is a volunteer medical humanitarian organization that provides the gift of mobility through life-changing joint replacement surgeries at no cost for those in need in the U.S. and globally.
During each international surgical mission, Operation Walk educates in-country orthopedic surgeons, nurses, physical therapists and other healthcare professionals on the most advanced treatments and surgical techniques for diseases of the hip and knee joints. This creates a lasting contribution to patient care in developing countries.
Our Impact in Numbers
Update
Operation Walk Los Angeles returned to General Santos City, Philippines this month. Building on the success of our 2024 mission at St. Elizabeth Hospital, our all-volunteer medical team provided joint replacement surgeries to patients who could not otherwise afford them. Every supply, every instrument, every member of our team travels to make this mission possible —because returning mobility means giving patients a second chance at an independent, pain-free life.
