WE TRANSFORM CHILDREN’S FACES, AND WE RENEW THEIR LIVES.
Please help us!
What if your child were among the one in every five- hundred kids around the world who are born with head or facial differences that, if left untreated, would almost certainly ruin their lives? Founded in 1989 by craniofacial surgery pioneer Dr. Kenneth Salyer, the WorldCF links families in great need with medical professionals on every continent to ensure that these children receive the excellent surgical and medical care they deserve, dramatically
improving their quality of life and restoring their dignity. The WorldCF needs your support to strengthen our network of multidisciplinary experts who work tirelessly to help every youngster who is afflicted with devastating craniofacial anomalies. With our unparalleled international expertise and medical resources, we transform these children’s faces and dramatically renew their lives.
TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN ACROSS THE WORLD
WCF Medical Director, Dr. Chris Gordon, separates conjoined twins, Augusto and Pedro, from Guatemala at Dayton Children's Hospital.
The separation of the twin boys, Augusto and Pedro, inspires the entire profession and fellow colleagues in craniofacial and neurosurgery. The World Craniofacial Foundation has a history of operating on conjoined twins. Our founder, Dr. Kenneth Salyer, separated Egyptian conjoined twin brothers Mohamed and Ahmed in Dallas in 2003. We are excited to share in the successful separation and wish Augusto and Pedro health and happiness as they return to Guatemala.
