Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Program
Cooper University Hospital's Regional Cleft-Craniofacial Program is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary evaluation and treatment program designed to meet the multifaceted needs of the infant, child and adolescent with a cleft lip, cleft palate or craniofacial deformity.
The program was established in 1979 and is staffed by an interdisciplinary team of experienced medical, surgical, dental, psychosocial and speech and hearing specialists. The specialists work together in a coordinated, family centered, team setting to provide appropriate in-patient and out-patient care. Results of evaluations and treatment recommendations are communicated to the patient's primary care physician or local health care provider.
