Team Heart of Texas is excited to launch their first mission with Operation International in Rakai, Uganda in spring of 2025. The Heart of Texas team is focused on bringing advanced Head and Neck surgical care to people in need. Uganda, like many poor countries has an epidemic of massive thyroid goiters due to iodine deficiency. These benign tumors can compress the airway and impede swallowing.
Team Heart of Texas was founded in 2024 by Dr. Evan Longfield (ENT, Head and Neck surgeon), Kati Davenport (ENT nurse practitioner), and Dr. Ryan Raju (ENT, Head and Neck surgeon). Together, they formed the team with a shared commitment to delivering expert surgical care to underserved communities.
Operation International is a 501c3 nonprofit. Our tax ID / EIN # is 45-0523129. Contributions to Operation International are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by applicable law.
