Team Hope in Motion (Team HIM), formally Operation Walk Midwest, was started in 1995 by Lawrence D. Dorr, M.D. in Los Angeles, CA. Dr. Dorr is one of the leading joint replacement surgeons in the United States. On a teaching trip to Russia, Dr. Dorr surmised that one of the best ways to teach physicians was to actually demonstrate the surgery.
Dr. Dorr put together a team of surgeons, internal medicine doctors, anesthesiologists, nurses, and physical therapists and planned his first Operation Walk trip to Havana, Cuba. Since that time, Operation Walk has expanded to 13 centers across the United States and has been responsible for thousands of free joint replacements across the globe.
In 2021, Operation Walk Midwest began a new partnership with Faith In Practice and rebranded as Team Hope In Motion. Team HIM is a not-for-profit volunteer medical services organization that provides free surgical treatments for patients in Guatemala. These patients suffer from debilitating bone and joint conditions, such as arthritis, and do not have access to medical care.
