Operation Walk is a not-for-profit organization that serves populations around the world. Dr. Foran’s patients were from the Massai Tribe in Arusha, Tanzania, and most had never been in a building with electricity or plumbing. Their access to healthcare is nonexistent.

Dr. Foran first participated in Operation Walk in 2008 in Vietnam and went to Nigeria last year as part of a GEANCO Foundation mission.
