The NYPS Group and ReSurge Partnership

Through partnership with ReSurge, our highly skilled surgeons travel to areas that are lacking in basic medical care or trained specialists. Once there, they can provide surgical care to restore function for patients who have been injured or born with defects that limit their mobility, basic capacity, or ability to work. In addition to helping people in a way that vastly improves their lives, our surgeons are also able to share their knowledge to train local medical staff.

In addition to our volunteer work with ReSurge, we have established The Dr. Vincent DiGregorio Fellowship Fund to provide financial support to this very worthwhile cause. The Fund honors the memory of former NYPS Group surgeon Dr. Vincent DiGregorio and sustains his commitment to providing medical care and surgical training to populations in need. Learn more about Dr. DiGregorio and the fund.

Recently Dr. Thomas Davenport shared stories from his ReSurge trip to Dehradun India, showing the life-transforming work the physicians accomplish through ReSurge International.

Why Work in Developing Countries?

At New York Plastic Surgical Group, we are committed to taking an active role in our local communities throughout New York. We also recognize the great privilege we have in access to world-class hospitals, educational institutions, and medical resources, especially in contrast to the dire need for reconstructive surgeons in developing countries.

Model of the world and a stethoscope

In areas of South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, the lack of available medical care is compounded by the fact that injuries such as burns and traffic accidents occur at much higher rates than in developed countries. Without access to reconstructive care, injuries or congenital anomalies that would easily be treated in the United States can become life-threatening in other areas of the world. We are honored to utilize our skills to provide life-saving surgical care and gratified to share our knowledge in order to train surgical staff abroad and bolster increased access to care where it is most needed.

There is a shortage of reconstructive plastic surgeons in developing countries where millions suffer from treatable injuries, malignancies and congenital conditions.

You Can Help Change a Life

The team at NYPS Group is devoted to helping others, but now we are asking for your help. ReSurge International is widely regarded as a highly efficient and upstanding organization, with 86% of the operation budget allocated directly to life-changing medical programs. Any and every contribution makes a difference to someone in need.
