Annual Operation Walk Yearbook
Guatemala 2022
Operation Walk Pittsburgh has returned from the team's 7th mission to Antigua, Guatemala. This year, our team assisted a total of 44 patients with 59 joint replacement surgeries. For the first time in our history, a dental clinic was offered to low-income community members in and around Antigua.
We couldn’t be happier for the opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues at Obras and get back to doing what we do best: providing eager patients a fresh start through renewed mobility. Our team of 74 volunteers was made up of an incredible array of amazing people who each brought their own special set of skills to the mission. Each year, our travel team is composed of incredibly talented and dedicated people, from surgeons to nurses; every person plays an incredibly important role. This year, there were many new faces, with 28 new volunteers recruited from all over the country.
