High Criteria Inc. (HCI) is a nonprofit built on the FSU model — Free and Reduced-Cost Surgery for the Underserved. The Kind Cut: Blood & Bloom is HCI's second collection, expanding the mission across eight surgical disciplines through the lore of the Keepers — surgeons who swear an oath to cut kindly, and the patients who become healers in turn.
“No patient should be denied a life-changing surgery because of where they were born or what they can afford.” — Dr. Sabin Subedi, Founder
