Cleft palate support
Cleft palates are one of the most common birth defects in the United States. A cleft is an opening of the skin or a failure of closure of the lip or the palate, and children who are born with clefts have difficulty sucking and thus have difficulty feeding. This can be daunting and confusing for parents, which is why Associate Professor Lori Davis created the Craniofacial Team, or Cleft Palate Team, in 2000. Since then, they have served more than 600 patients free of charge.
