Baptist Children’s Hospital Provides Free Surgeries for Children in Need

Fourteen South Florida children, teens and young adults received the gift of a happy smile at Baptist Children’s Hospital during its annual Day of Smiles. Doctors from various specialties volunteered their time to help correct cleft lips and palates and perform nose revisions, ear reconstruction and scar revisions. This is the 11th year the hospital has donated its facilities and provided free surgeries for children whose families couldn’t afford the operations.
