TPMF is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting medical missions, charitable outreach and medical education that enhance the quality of life for underserved populations. The Foundation provides mentoring, training, and networking for post-graduate podiatric students and others, which increase access to patient care for the indigent and those in need of treatment for diabetic complications, deformities, birth defects, injuries and other untreated medical issues.
Medical Missions
2024 Mission Team Makes a BIG Impact!
Video produced by Dr. Michelle Hurless
610 Patients, 29 Corrective Surgeries, 2 Orphanages Treated and 45 Volunteers!
Thank you to EVERYONE for their support, team attitude and generosity. When you see a mother cry because we were able to help her child walk without pain or get hugged by a man who was selected for surgery so he could work without pain for the first time in 15 years – it is all worth it!
