Dr . Mostofian shared , “ The trust that a patient has in their physician is necessary , so the physician ’ s responsibility is overwhelming and a blessing during those vulnerable moments .”
As Acela is recuperating from surgery , she has a wide smile , a sense of peace , and such gratitude . She stated “ I am so thankful to everyone . Without the doctors volunteering time , I don ’ t think I would be here .” As Acela heals , she has been taking her boys to school and they are already making plans to go out on weekends .
Since 2008 , Project Access has facilitated $ 27 million in care for 9,600 + uninsured patients just like Acela by providing free consultations and surgeries — all thanks to the dedication of volunteer specialty physicians .
