Meet the Team

Meet the Executive Team

Our 100% volunteer team is made up of medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, anesthetists, social workers and business leaders.
What we all share is a great need help ease the suffering of people around the world.

"My first surgical mission was in 1999
in Hanoi Vietnam, and since then, I’ve been hooked. 

At that point, I had been working in the operating room for 23 years and had served in the armed forces for a number of years, but nothing quite compares to doing a mission and knowing that you have contributed to changing a life.  I went on to volunteer in several other nonprofits, and in 2007, I started Surgical Volunteers International. I find the work to be satisfying, rewarding, and very enjoyable. My hope is that Surgical Volunteers International will continue to positively change lives around the world." - Tom Flood, Founder

Our volunteers make a
world of difference.

We are a 100 percent volunteer-based nonprofit organization. All of our generous donations go towards funding mission trips to lesser fortunate countries where we help community members address their medical conditions. For every mission, we also pair up with local communities, charities and organizations to help better the lives of young children and adults who need the support.
