Surgeon Treats Over 100,000 Patients Unable To Pay For Health Care

October 23, 2015

Since 2010, Dr. Daniel Ivankovich and his nonprofit have treated more than 100,000 uninsured or underinsured patients in Chicago's troubled neighborhoods.

"We never turn away a patient," Dr. Ivankovich told CNN. "The greatest thing we give them is hope."
