The IASIS Healthcare Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in disadvantaged regions through cooperative efforts to provide healthcare services, supplies, and training. The Foundation sponsored its first mission trip, christened "Operation Starfish," to the Serengeti Region in the east African nation of Tanzania. A team of physicians and nurses from Tempe St. Luke's Hospital in Tempe, Arizona (an IASIS facility) spent two weeks in the region, holding clinics where primary care and surgical services were provided to local individuals with a wide variety of medical needs.
