“Dr. Rod Rohrich has been a mentor to me since I was a general surgery resident almost 10 years ago. I cannot thank him enough for all he has taught me. I have worked with him both in the operating room and collaborated with him on research publications. His incredible contributions to the field of plastic surgery go without saying. Outstanding mentor, educator, and surgeon!”

AIRS provides physician training, opportunity, and funding to make this possible.
Founded in 2012, the mission of the AIRS Foundation is to provide access to breast reconstruction, after mastectomy, to women who cannot afford this procedure. Restorative breast surgery is a vital part of total physical and emotional healing for many breast cancer survivors, yet up to 70% of those who would like to have it don’t have the insurance or other financial resources to cover the costs.
Educating women about their post-mastectomy options are of particular importance, especially considering that a great percentage of women diagnosed with breast cancer are unsure of — or unaware of — their reconstruction options.
Most breast cancer survivors who have had a complete or partial mastectomy (removal of all or some of the breast tissue and nipple) are candidates for breast reconstruction.
The Foundation collaborates with physicians worldwide, providing the resources necessary to make reconstruction an option for women who would not otherwise have access to this surgery. To this end, we provide education and training to physicians globally while supporting advances in health care research.
