Surgeons of Hope is a nonprofit organization based in New York City that focuses on improving access to life-saving heart surgery for infants and children with damaged hearts. Founded in 2002, the group works to reduce disparities in congenital and acquired heart defects by delivering urgently needed care, building local medical capacity, and establishing centers of care in developing countries. Its efforts have included developing an advanced cardiac center in Nicaragua, training local medical teams, and treating hundreds of children there since 2008. The organization positions itself within the hospitals and health care sector, addressing gaps in resources that affect outcomes for children with serious heart conditions. Recent collaborations, such as partnerships with MedShare International and Mending Kids International, illustrate ongoing efforts to expand access to essential medical supplies and care.
