This week we return to a conversation between AmSpa CEO, Alex R. Thiersch, JD, and two leaders of Operation Mend, a nonprofit UCLA Health program that provides specialized surgical and psychological care to post-9/11 military members, veterans and their caregivers. Executive Director Jo Sornborger, PsyD, and Christopher Crisera, MD, plastic surgeon and executive medical director, share the charity's mission and vision in a conversation that covers:

  • The origins of Operation Mend and the importance of their work with veterans;
  • The intersection between mental health needs and reconstructive surgery;
  • How involving caregivers in the program led to better outcomes;
  • How needs are assessed;
  • Why there is so much difficulty in getting treatment for veterans;
  • How trauma can affect the entire family unit;
  • The personal impact from working with Operation Mend; and
  • How listeners can become involved in their mission.

From February 10-17, 2025, $75 of every ticket sold for the Medical Spa Show will be donated to Operation Mend, with matching contributions from AmSpa and ByrdAdatto. Make a difference for a wounded veteran with your registration this week at www.medicalspashow.com/operation-mend.
