RUMFORD — Dr. Jerry Cohen, Rotary Fellow and Rumford club member, addressed the River Valley Rotary Club on “Rotaplast” when the group met Feb. 5 at the HOPE Association.
Cohen said Rotaplast International Inc. is committed to helping children and families worldwide by eliminating the burden of cleft lip and/or palate, burn scarring and other deformities.
Working with local professionals, Rotarians and other organizations, Rotaplast sends multidisciplinary medical teams to provide free reconstructive surgery, ancillary treatment and training for the comprehensive care of these children.
Rotaplast supports education and research toward prevention of cleft lip and/or palate. The aim is to help local professionals build sustainable models for the care of these children, improving their lives and those of their families.
The local club has given enough funding to provide life-changing surgery to more than 400 children.
