Date:8/18/2009

Kaiser Permanente says, "This project has already saved lives. By screening and testing medically underserved patients, we can find colon cancer before it is too late and connect them to the care they need."

Kaiser Permanente's SurgiCenter in Otay Mesa is again collaborating with Project Access San Diego for this Saturday Surgery Day and is donating the operating rooms and medical supplies. "The level of volunteerism among the medical staff at Kaiser Permanente is so high. Volunteers know that the surgeries we perform are changing lives in a meaningful way," says Dr. Sandra L. Freiwald, General Surgeon. Over 150 volunteers, including surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, operating room technicians, administrative staff, environmental services staff, laboratory technicians and pharmacists will donate their time on Saturday, August 22. Karma Bass, CEO of Alliance Healthcare Foundation adds, "Alliance Healthcare Foundation is proud to partner with Project Access in support of Surgery Days. These surgeries significantly improve the well-being of the patients that benefit from them and often transform their lives."
