The W. Hardy Hendren Education Foundation for Pediatric Surgery and Urology

The W. Hardy Hendren Education Foundation for Pediatric Surgery and Urology is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) Foundation founded in 2010. Dr. Hendren is a gifted surgeon who has made seminal contributions to the fields of pediatric surgery and urology. The Foundation's core mission is to advance the understanding and teaching of solutions and techniques for children with general surgical and urology problems. The initial work of the Foundation is the creation of an innovative web-based education site. The website has been developed using the latest powerful content and web management technologies to create a unique information exchange for the fields of pediatric surgery and urology. The web-site uses multiple data formats including text, lecture, slides, videos, real time feedback, journals, books, and web access all linked in a user-friendly way. The Foundation believes that this initiative will become a highly valuable education resource for those caring for sick children with surgical problems, and at the same time a gold standard for online surgical teaching and learning. The Foundation’s mission is to ensure that the work of Dr. Hendren and others that have helped shape pediatric surgery and urology teaches while inspiring as many people as possible, and by doing so improves the lives of children throughout the world for generations to come. The information is accessible to all registered users free of charge.
