OUR MISSION

The FACE Foundation is dedicated to providing free facial reconstructive surgery to underprivileged children.  Acting in concert with volunteers and medical professionals, children suffering from facial trauma or disfigurement are provided surgical services based upon need.

Many needy children throughout Northeast Florida and neighboring regions lack access to specialists, especially in the facial plastic reconstructive field. The FACE Foundation wants to be the safety net for these children; to give them a chance to lead healthy, happy, and rewarding lives.

Children with dog bites to the face, injuries from auto accidents, congenital deformities, or other traumas are what the FACE doctors focus on.  Our doctors and medical professionals provide these children with the benefits of exceptional reconstructive surgical care that makes a tremendous impact on their lives.
