Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

A lack of specialized medical/surgical care for children primarily with craniofacial deformities living in impoverished global regions without access, funds, or trained professionals that can provide needed care; lack of adequate surgical resources in the event of a global disaster.

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Mary Lamon Memorial Program

Through a partnership with Medical City Children’s Hospital in Dallas, LEAP provides extensive, high-quality medical and surgical care to underserved children with such severe craniofacial issues that long-term treatment in their home countries is not feasible. We also arrange their travel to the U.S. and host families to provide a loving environment between surgeries and while they heal. LEAP has treated 46 patients from 14 countries through this program.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth
People with physical disabilities

We return to the same communities in Belize, Haiti, India, Zimbabwe, and Mexico that have come to trust and rely upon LEAP to offer ongoing care to children with otherwise unmet surgical needs and to continue care for those who require long-term medical treatment. In times of natural disaster, we also deploy surgical teams as part of a first responder effort in affected areas around the world.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Restoration of a patient's health, their physical disfigurements or other surgical need that provides for a healthy, brighter future for the patient, family and community; we do this with the greatest compassion and provide follow-up over a period of years.

We send highly skilled surgical teams to provide free specialized surgical care; we educate local healthcare providers, fund, and/or build medical facilities to provide greater impact in the local regions we serve; in the most severe cases, we bring children with complex craniofacial surgical needs to Dallas for surgical care.

Over the past 29 years, we have provided over 9,600 free surgeries to patients representing 22 countries. 2019 Mission Program trips included India, Belize, Mexico, and Zimbabwe. We also provided free surgical and medical care in Dallas to 3 children from the Dominican Republic, China, and Cuba through the Lamon Family Program

Over the past 29 years, we have provided over 9,600 free surgeries to patients representing 22 countries. Future goals include greater shift from Founder-led leadership to advanced professional staff management, Board development and governance, medical volunteer leadership in all representative areas of scope/practice, development across all program areas with improved processes and increased patient outreach, and developing financial benchmarks and donor development goals.
