Eduardo suffered with a painful umbilical hernia for five years. At work, lifting and bending were challenging due to pain and discomfort. Dr. Harris with California Hernia Specialists successfully performed Eduardo’s surgery. Eduardo is happy to say he can now enjoy time with his family, and is back to work pain free.
Donald worked with AccessOC as an AmeriCorp fellow for one year. He has continued to volunteer with us while attending UC Irvine School of Medicine.
Kaiser surgery day
Rosa has been our faithful volunteer since we last helped her through our program ten years ago, offering her help at all our events and surgery days. Recently, Rosa learned she needed a cholecystectomy, the removal of the gallbladder. She was referred to AccessOC and we arranged for her to attend our Kaiser Surgery day. Rosa thanked everyone at Kaiser and let them know they make a big difference in people’s lives. Rosa also said she will continue to volunteer with AccessOC as a way to give back!
Volunteering runs in the family
Meagan and Sheila have been volunteering for AccessOC for the last five years. Both mother and daughter enjoy helping our patients. Thank you!
