Access OC provides outpatient free surgeries on ‘Super Surgery Saturdays’ at seven local hospitals throughout the year. A project of the Health Funders Partnership of Orange County, Access OC was formed in 2005 in response to a healthcare assessment which identified access to specialty care for underinsured and uninsured residents as the greatest area of need. The foundation of Access OC is the 400+ medical professionals, including physicians, nurses and surgical teams who donate their time, skill and expertise. One in four of Orange County’s 3 million residents live below 200 percent of federal poverty level and about 15% of resident’s ages 18 to 64 are uninsured. Uninsured patients typically wait long periods of time (12 months of longer) for specialty healthcare. Access OC provides a mechanism to close that gap with their outpatient surgery program operating year-round. Volunteers have the benefit of contributing to the health and well-being of individuals in their community.
