Hayden

Hayden was born with a cleft of the lip and palate. Above, are pictures of Hayden during different stages of his treatment with the Cleft Palate Institute. At 3 months of age, Hayden had surgical repair of his lip followed by surgical repair of his palate at one year of age. As Hayden develops physically and dentally, he will require additional treatment procedures.

"Without the help of United Way and the Northwestern PA Cleft Palate Institute, we never would have known what to do-where to turn, what doctors to see. They have done so much for our family physically, obviously, but emotionally and spiritually, too. I can’t put into words how blessed we’ve been by these two organizations."

-Michele (Hayden's Mom)
