390,578 deaths worldwide with 109,726 deaths to COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. (as of June 4, 2020) gives the entire world time to pause, think and mourn.
The recent death of George Floyd, Ahmaud Aubrey, and Breonna Taylor from racial injustice cause us to further pause.
Now is the time to take a stand against social injustice. Now is a time for hope, restoration, and revival. Now is the time to become active, focused, and organized to change legislation to straighten scoliosis in our criminal just system and have a society that all can live, work and prosper in safety and as equals.
Duncan Tree Foundation is now in the process of pausing rebuilding, rebranding, and reimagining our mission of healing, teaching, and empowerment.
We are proud of the transformative work we’ve done since our founding in 2008 to provide relief through free spine surgeries to hundreds of patients with spine deformity, who could not afford the cost of implants or surgery. Hundreds of healthcare workers have benefited from our continuing medical education program and have demonstrated significant improvements in their medical practice.
We want to recognize and thank our public/private partners who have partnered with Duncan Tree to help many people:
