OPWalk is a volunteer organization that provides free surgery to patients that have no access to care for arthritis or other bone and joint conditions.
Today we celebrate each volunteer, each donor, and every person who has supported Operation Walk Los Angeles in our mission to restore mobility around the world. Thanks to all who have given of their time and talent to make Dr. Dorr's vision a reality.

Patient education is top priority on missions. We teach about surgery, how to prepare for it and steps to take afterwards that maximize healing and results.
Family members help with PT and the recovery process so they will know best practices when returning home.
#Mobility4All
Did you know we ship about 9,000 pounds of equipment and supplies each trip? Then, we ship about 2,000 pounds of"perpetual" equipment home.
Thanks to all who have donated money to support the shipping costs of these missions. Those funds are critical to our efforts. #fridayfact
OpWalk LA is fortunate to be the recipient of many kinds of donations.
On every trip we have a bin of shoes kept on hand for our patients. Our volunteers help them to find a new pair support their first steps into a new life.
