Hand Help: A Model for Hand Surgery in the Global Arena
In 2017, a team of 34 individuals traveled to Managua, Nicaragua as a part of a week-long surgical mission trip to provide care for individuals in developing nations with upper extremity disease. This team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, students, therapists, and interpreters was organized by Hand Help, Inc., a nonprofit organization founded in 2005 by Dr. Grant Thomson, Professor of Plastic Surgery and Director of the Yale Hand and Comprehensive Microsurgery Center.
