About Us
WHO WE ARE
A 501c3 nonprofit committed to providing life-changing spine surgery, training, and technology through medical mission trips to under-resourced communities around the world.
Changing lives, one spine at a time.
We are a Foundation like no other, offering tailored support options from long-term partnerships to one-time grants, a full-time staff who specializes in medical mission operations and the generous support of Globus Medical.
Our volunteer teams have access to both NuVasive and Globus Medical products and services. We provide unparalleled support for medical mission partners, so that they can focus on doing what they do best, changing lives one spine at a time.
“I was living in horrible pain. I couldn’t walk, stand up, go to the bathroom, or take care of my young son. When I stood up for the first time after surgery, I felt like the happiest woman in the world. I have my life back and can be the mother my son needs.”

Our Relationship with Globus Medical/ NuVasive
The NuVasive Spine Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit corporation (Tax ID 26-4835245).
Following the acquisition of NuVasive by Globus Medical in 2023, we are thrilled to have the support of a leader in the musculoskeletal procedural space.
While we operate independently as a charitable organization, Globus Medical generously donates both Globus Medical and NuVasive products, funding, intraoperative neuromonitoring and product support services to help advance our medical mission program and help patients in need.
Our Focus
NSF believes in collaborative medical mission partnerships that allow us to provide comprehensive care to our patients. Our volunteer teams provide direct patient care to hundreds of adults and children each year, while working towards the long-term goal of developing sustainable spine treatment and care at each of our locations.
