OPERATION ENDEAVOR is a 501(c)(3) non-profit M99+ missioned to provide training in rescue, emergency medicine and trauma, while supporting public health and safety, EMS system development, and disaster preparedness in developing regions of the world - where men, women and children live under the shadows of untimely death from traumatic injury, disease, disaster, war refugee displacement, disparity and extreme poverty.
