As part of the Dental Health Care Center community outreach program, Dr. John Woell volunteers his time and expense to treat children in need in Peru. Dr. Woell is a member of a volunteer group that visits Peru each year to perform cleft palate surgery on children in need. Cleft palates are birth defects whereby the lip or palate does not develop properly, leaving a gap or “cleft” in the lip, gum or mouth tissue. Left untreated, the child typically suffers from emotional and social trauma.
