In partnership with Memorial Care Outpatient Surgical Center, Long Beach Mending Kids will hold its 9th Hometown Mission on July 16, 2022
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. - WisconsinEagle -- Hometown Mission 2022 is a one-day outpatient event that will change the lives of up to 20 children residing in Los Angeles County and throughout California. This zero-cost medical mission will benefit recipients who cannot afford medical coverage due to documentation status, a family's loss of income, the inability to pay costly deductibles, and/or have been denied access to care for conditions deemed as "non-life-threatening" or "cosmetic" by health insurance providers.
Based on the 2018 U.S. Census Bureau's annual Health Insurance Coverage in the United States, an estimated 4.3 million children were uninsured. Underserved communities are largely overlooked, leaving families stuck with the financial burden of paying costly medical bills.
Since its launch in 2013, Mending Kids' Hometown Mission is committed to addressing the expanding health disparity gap among disproportionately inequitable populations by removing obstacles and providing the necessary services these children deserve and need to correct highly stigmatized physical and congenital anomalies with the goal of restoring self-esteem and mitigating bullying.
More on Wisconsin Eagle
Mending Kids' volunteer team of board-certified surgeons, anesthesiologists, recovery nurses and other medical professionals will be donating their time and skills to provide quality surgical care to children in need of ear, nose and throat (ENT), orthopedic, urology, strabismus, plastic and reconstructive, and general pediatric surgeries.
These surgeries are critical to the patients' well-being. Mending Kids wants to ensure that no deserving child is turned away and give them an equal opportunity to medical care so they can achieve a sense of normalcy, return home healthy and face the future with confidence.
Special thanks to our sponsor, the Open Hearts Foundation, co-founded by actress and philanthropist, Jane Seymour, for their generosity.
"This mission is for the kids who fall through the cracks and for giving them access to the care that they need to restore their dignity, ability to learn properly, and to help them get back on track to fulfilling their potential." Isabelle Fox, Executive Director
