Our History

In 1985, a team of plastic surgeons from the United States traveled to the Dominican Republic to change the lives of children who were born with birth defects, like cleft lips and cleft palates. While they were able to use their skills to correct the physical appearance of these children, and improve their quality of life, they left with an indelible mark on their hearts.

Fast-forward 38 years later — many of the same surgeons travel to the Dominican Republic every February for the annual medical mission trip, and the team has grown exponentially.
