Roanoke, Virginia – November 3, 2025 – Women Orthopaedist Global Outreach (WOGO) announces the location of their next medical mission. In 2026, the team will travel to Panama City, Panama for the first time, where they will work at Hospital Santo Tomás.
Dr. Kathleen Hogan, WOGO Surgeon and President, said “Our team is thrilled to bring the gift of mobility to Panama City. Every mission reminds us how life-changing orthopedic care can be – for patients, families, and entire communities.”
Women Orthopaedist Global Outreach (www.wogo.org) is a nonprofit volunteer medical service organization led by female orthopaedic surgeons. They have seen first-hand the power of joint replacement surgery to transform the lives of those who suffer from arthritis, the most disabling chronic disease in the world.
WOGO is incorporated as a team of Operation Walk (www.operationwalk.org), a nonprofit volunteer medical service organization that provides free surgical treatment in developing countries (and occasionally the United States) for patients who have no access to life-improving care for arthritis or other debilitating bone and joint conditions. More than twenty other Operation Walk teams have successfully completed missions in many different countries. The team has joined their global campaign because, although joint replacement surgeries have been performed on thousands of patients, millions more are needed.
