July Is National Cleft & Craniofacial Awareness & Prevention Month

Cleft and craniofacial conditions affect thousands of infants, children, teens, and adults in the United States each year. Some are born with congenital anomalies like cleft lip and palate, others with more complex, life-threatening craniofacial conditions.

Cooper’s Regional Cleft/Craniofacial Program is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary evaluation and treatment program designed to meet the multifaceted needs of the infant, child, and adolescent with a cleft lip, cleft palate, or craniofacial deformity. It is staffed by a team of experienced medical, surgical, dental, psychosocial, and speech and hearing specialists who work together in a coordinated, family-centered setting to provide appropriate inpatient and outpatient care.

Services Available:

  • Genetic evaluation and counseling including prenatal counseling and support for families receiving a prenatal diagnosis of a facial deformity.
  • Twenty-four hour newborn outreach and assessment program including counseling regarding feeding techniques for infants with clefts (assessment and counseling is available at the birthing hospital).
  • Surgical correction of clefts and craniofacial deformities.
  • Dental evaluation and treatment of clefts or other oral facial problems including pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and oral-maxillofacial surgery.
  • Coordination and streamlining of evaluations, surgeries, and other treatments to reduce multiple visits to the center.
