Claire Lachance, President & CEO of ReSurge International, a pioneering nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to life-changing reconstructive surgery in low income countries, joins Yo to talk about ReSurge’s programs and the positive impact the organization is making in global communities with life-transforming care.
Did you know that five billion people do not have access to safe, timely, and affordable surgical care worldwide, and every two seconds someone dies from a surgically preventable disease?
ReSurge provides free reconstructive surgical care and strengthens surgical systems in low-income countries to give people with treatable conditions a chance to lead fuller, healthier lives.
Claire is a transformative leader dedicated to designing, building, and managing high-performing organizations for social impact.
Topics covered in the Episode:
- Saying yes to opportunities
- United Nations Commission on the Status of Women panel
- Patient transformations in Nepal & Vietnam
- PWRS program
- The International Leadership Association & “Wisdom Leader” (Noetic Sciences)
- How to support ReSurge International

Here are three takeaways from the episode:
1. A key point of difference for ReSurge International is their ability to strengthen surgical systems in low-income countries & the multiplier effect.
2. The PWRS program advances first-generation women reconstructive surgeons in low-income countries across the world. This program aims to tackle the gender gap in global surgery by providing surgical training, leadership development, and mentorship for women surgeons in low-income countries.
3. We can all be “Wisdom Leaders” by listening to our inner selves and intuition.
