Founded in 1991 by Dr. Craig Hobar, the LEAP Foundation is comprised of volunteer surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses and support staff. Dedicating time, expertise and often their own resources, these volunteers endeavor to bring free surgical care to children and adults born with facial deformities.
"I wanted to find a way to use my skills as a surgeon to help people who didn't have access to reconstructive surgical care," said Dr. Hobar. "So many kids have to grow up with the embarrassment of a facial deformity because they live in a country with little or no surgeons who can perform this type of surgery. We wanted to do what we could do to help."

Since the beginning, the LEAP Foundation, a not-for-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization has helped enhance and change the lives of over 2,500 people in the name of Christ. A child born with a deformity often faces a life of loneliness and isolation, excluded from their village due to ignorance or superstition. Through medical mission teams and dedicated partners, the LEAP Foundation has truly been able to "touch the world, one life at a time".

The LEAP Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing and enriching the lives of people around the world by providing specialized medical services. The primary goal of LEAP is to serve others in the name of Christ
