"Caring for children in the developing world
has provided me with some of the finest experiences
of my life. I have worked with many volunteer organizations,
but none more effective than Operation Rainbow."
--Dr. Dave Atkin.
Surgeon, San Francisco Operations
OPERATION RAINBOW, INC.
Operation Rainbow envisions the world’s children,
free of physical deformities, living lives filled
with hope and joy.
We are dedicated to
a twofold mission:
1. Providing free Plastic and Orthopedic surgery
to children who do not have access to care, in the
United States and across the globe.
2. Providing continuing education to international
health care providers to encourage medical self-sufficiency.
Operation Rainbow, Inc. was
founded in 1978 by William B. Riley, Jr., M.D. in
Houston, Texas. The organization is headquartered
in Houston, Texas with an additional operation in
San Francisco, California.
Operation Rainbow volunteers and donors are proud
ambassadors of goodwill-not only to the patients
themselves, but also to their families, their communities
and, in a broader sense, to their homelands.
To date, Operation Rainbow has treated more than
7,000 children in various areas of the United States
and in medically underserved countries, world-wide.
Because of volunteer programs and the generous support
of gifts from physicians, nurses, medical supply
companies and individuals, Operation Rainbow has
provided $60,000,000 in surgical services for less
than $3,900,000 an outstanding service/cost ratio
and superior non-profit stewardship.
The positive influence of Operation Rainbow on medical
education and training is a lasting one of inestimable
value. In conjunction with each child treated domestically
and with each surgical mission, volunteer teams
also teach their colleagues state-of-art techniques
that enhance the quality and continuity of patient
care and promote self-reliance.
Detailed evaluations of the outcomes of each mission
trip and each child treated are reviewed by mission
team leaders and members of the Board of Directors
of Operation Rainbow in order to assure quality
standards and the meeting of mission goals. In the
long history of Operation Rainbow, mission results
have far exceeded expectations, a track record of
the highest achievement and merit.
OPERATION RAINBOW, INC. IS A 501-C-3 NON-FOR-PROFIT
