Sponsored by the Variety Club of New York, this team conference
is headed by Dr. Joseph G. McCarthy for patients with severe facial
birth defects. The team consists of several of the Institute's craniofacial
surgeons, an orthodontist, prosthodontist, neurosurgeon, psychologist,
geneticist, nurse clinician, ophthalmologist, and otolaryngologist.
The Conference provides optimal exposure for the patients to a comprehensive
evaluation of their problem. After the patient is presented and
evaluated, the team confers about the best course of treatment for
that particular patient, and the patient and family are given the
team recommendations. Many children and young people, whose families
are unable to pay for the services and travel/accomodation costs,
are sponsored by private grants and foundations for their surgery.
In such situations, the surgical fees for these patients are donated
by the faculty.
