Hi, I am planning on raising money for patients who are in poverty and can’t afford their surgeries and medical treatment. How can I go about doing this the best way, aka the most direct way? Any non-profit organizations that do this? Or how can I find the poor patients in my area myself?

Hospitals usually have a pro bono fund that they access when a patient cannot afford their surgery and their doctors decide to do the surgery pro bono. The doctors do the surgery for free, and the money from the pro bono fund pays for the use of equipment, the room, supplies, etc. You could call up your local hospital and see if they have a fund like this and if you can donate specifically to that.
If you want to help a specific hospital that does not ever turn away patients based on their inability to pay, donate money to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. St. Jude’s is a hospital that does leading research in children’s cancers, and they never turn away patients because they can’t pay. Because of this they need a constant stream of donations to keep their hospital funded adequately. By donating money to St. Jude you can help assure that they will never have to turn away any sick child.
I think it’s great that you’re looking to get involved like this. Good for you!
there is one that asks for donations for cataract surgery for people who could never afford this in 3rd world countries
