Strengthening Orthopedic Care
and Elevating Medical Education

in the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Serving Communities, Transforming Lives, and Cultivating Future Medical Leaders

Driven by compassion and expertise

RTFC is dedicated to enhancing orthopedic care and fostering medical excellence in the Dominican Republic. Together, we're building a healthier, more knowledgeable future

All care is driven by our unwavering belief in compassionate care:

every service we provide,

from consultation to surgical intervention

is entirely free for the patients.

Our FOCUS

  • RTFC supports the ILAC Orthopedic mission, which offers specialized orthopedic treatments to the Dominican Republic communities. Our focus lies in treating orthopedic conditions of the upper and lower extremities, ensuring that patients receive quality care from our skilled medical team.

  • In collaboration with local anesthesiologists and orthopedic surgeons RTFC supports the education of anesthesia and surgical residents through their interaction with the ILAC Orthopedic team. Our goal is to combine expertise and resources to raise the region's orthopedic care standards by empowering local medical professionals to excel even in our absence.

  • RTFC proudly supports the ILAC orthopedic programs. From hosting residents in the U.S. for specialized courses to nurturing mutual respect with local orthopedic surgeons, our commitment to knowledge-sharing remains unwavering. Together, we collaborate to advance the skills of medical professionals in the Dominican Republic, aiming to continuously enhance orthopedic care across the region.

  • RTFC extends beyond direct medical aid; we’re ambassadors for global health understanding. By bringing students from the U.S. to experience global healthcare firsthand, we instill in them the importance of this perspective for their future careers. Through strategic outreach initiatives and media collaborations, we shine a spotlight on global healthcare disparities, emphasizing the necessity of accessible medical care for all and inspiring change on a global scale.

  • Historically, RTFC's adaptability has been evident. Whether responding to unforeseen challenges like the Haiti earthquake or maintaining our commitment amid global pandemic disruptions, our dedication to providing critical orthopedic care remains constant.

  • Initiated in 2023, the Restore Together Foundation for Care plays a pivotal role in funding and ensuring the continuity and expansion of the ILAC Orthopedic mission’s transformative journey in orthopedic care and medical education.
