Organization helps children around the world

Nurse Ann Heinlen joined Interplast Inc. in 1993 to assist doctors who perform needed facial surgeries on young patients

Ann Heinlen has traveled with other nurses and doctors to such countries as Ecuador, Nepal, Vietnam, India and Peru to perform cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries on children. They also treat children who have suffered severe burns or other crippling injuries. These surgeries are performed for free, mainly due to a nonprofit organization called Interplast Inc., which has been providing free facial reconstructive surgery for children in developing nations since 1969.   More
