Dr. Andrew Moore
PIONEER SURGEON of SURGERY ON SUNDAY
Surgery on Sunday – East Tennessee is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization that provides essential outpatient procedures at no cost to income-eligible individuals who are either uninsured or under-insured and do not qualify for federal or state assistance. The program was modeled after a similar organization by the same name in Lexington, KY that has been delivering these valuable surgeries to people in Kentucky and Tennessee for 15 years. The program was a longtime dream of Lexington plastic surgeon, Dr. Andrew Moore, II. In his nearly 40 years of service, Dr. Moore and his brothers had helped numerous individuals who “fell between the cracks” of available healthcare services. They were individuals who made just enough to disqualify them from assistance, yet didn’t have enough income for surgery to be financially viable. In the early years of his career, providing free surgical services was as simple as calling the hospital and asking to forgive the expense to the patient. As the healthcare environment changed, the ability to do this type of surgery vanished.
Dr. Moore made it his mission to see the working poor receive outpatient services that they would not otherwise receive due to financial constraints. Surgery On Sunday – East Tennessee in collaboration with the University of Tennessee Medical Center and dozens of volunteer surgeons and supporting medical staff, now extends this important mission to our region.
Surgery on Sunday – East Tennessee is blessed to have many supporters who contribute financially and through in-kind donations. Due to the generosity of so many, Surgery on Sunday is able to provide surgeries at an average cost of $1,500 per case.
