It’s difficult to put the experience of volunteering on a Rotaplast surgery and education program in words.
Below please find some photos from the clinic that might be able to give you the feeling better than words can.
Patients:
Organization: Putting the puzzle pieces together

Wrap A Smile:
After surgery, patients are wrapped in special quilts made by volunteers from across the United States. “Wrap-A-Smile” provides quilts for each mission, and the patients appreciate having them in recovery and then love taking them home.
Communication:
Team meetings are essential to ensure alignment between all parts of the surgery and education program.
