Virginia Smiles, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was founded in 2002 to provide an essential link between families who are touched by cleft lip and/or cleft palate and the medical community that serves these patients.
Virginia Smiles provides education, information, and networking to individuals born with a cleft lip and/or cleft palate and serves as a resource to providers in the medical community who treat those who were born with a cleft.
