Craniofacial Team Head to Peru for Medical Mission

A team from the Tennessee Craniofacial Center will head to Lima and Pucallpa, Peru tomorrow morning with one mission in mind - putting smiles on the faces of children with craniofacial deformities.

Dubbed the "International Medical Program," this is the Center's 2nd such trip to Peru. Last year, the team headed by Dr. Larry Sargent, performed 29 surgeries in 5 days - all free of charge. Supplies and some medical personnel are being donated for this year's trip by Erlanger Health System.

All media are invited to see the team off on their trip at the main concourse of the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport tomorrow, October 10 at 10 a.m. Their flight is scheduled to depart at 10:25 a.m.
