Many patients from the Miller School of Medicine’s South Florida Cleft and Craniofacial Clinic, including one who will throw out the first pitch, have been invited to attend the Miami Marlins game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday, July 26 to help bring awareness to this important heath issue during National Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness and Prevention Month.

Effecting approximately 1 of every 650 babies, cleft lip/palate is the second most congenital anomaly, which the clinic has been treating for almost a half century. Help support the clinic’s patients by cheering them and the Marlins on at Tuesday’s game, which begins at 7:10 p.m. at Marlins Park in Little Havana.
