I would like to especially recognize Dr. Seth Thaller, Dr. Magdalena Plewinska and Mrs. Maria Santiago, whose selfless devotion has made this clinic successful. This clinic is the largest in South Florida, and it utilizes the expertise of community and university doctors, surgeons and dentists who graciously volunteer their time to treat their patients. This outstanding treatment center is initiating a program entitled Adopt a Smile, which will allow corporate and private donors to identify patients and follow their treatment over the years. The treatment of facial anomalies at the Cleft Lip and Palate Clinic at the University of Miami has improved the lives of thousands, and I congratulate all who are involved in it.
