NJ Craniosynostosis Center Special Donation Program
Donation Program
At the NJ Craniosynostosis Center, we believe in extending our commitment to children’s health beyond our immediate community. As part of our dedication to making a difference, we are proud to support Operation Smile, an international medical charity that provides free cleft lip and palate surgeries to children in need.
Through a special program linked to the launch of our website, a donation was made to Operation Smile to cover the cost of repairing a cleft lip for a child who would not otherwise have access to care. This donation ensures that a child somewhere in the world can receive life-changing surgery, giving them the chance to lead a healthier, more confident life.
Operation Smile
Foundation
Operation Smile is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries to children and adults in underserved communities around the world. Founded in 1982, Operation Smile has grown into one of the largest volunteer-based medical nonprofits, delivering surgical care in more than 30 countries. The organization addresses the critical lack of access to safe, affordable surgery in many parts of the world, helping children who would otherwise face severe health issues, social isolation, and difficulties with eating, speaking, or breathing due to untreated cleft conditions.
In addition to performing surgeries, Operation Smile provides comprehensive care, including speech therapy, dental care, and psychosocial support, ensuring patients receive holistic treatment. The organization also focuses on empowering local healthcare systems by training medical professionals in the communities they serve. Through a vast network of volunteers, corporate partners, and donors, Operation Smile continues to transform lives, advocating for global access to safe surgical care for all.
